Responsibility

Our commitment to responsible practices goes back to our founding days. At the heart of the brand’s slow fashion ethos is the belief that garments should be cherished, looked after, repaired, reworn and loved, handed on or passed down. We encourage treating our creations with the utmost care, the same way we dedicate our processes to longevity and timelessness.

From sourcing the fabrics through exquisite hand-painted detailing, embellishment and stitchwork to the perfect finishing, our talented team are meticulous, with incredible skill and attention to detail. Combining modern techniques with traditional crafts, each piece is one-of-a-kind. Every creation has a story to tell, memories to be made.

“I strive always to make beautiful clothes; a fully functioning wardrobe for myself and people around me. Pieces that can be loved and treasured. Pieces that can come out of the wardrobe years after they have been bought and still be relevant. Ethereal dresses you can wear or hang on your wall. I want my clothes to create pleasure when worn, even when you catch a glimpse of them in your closet. I want them to stand the test of time in this fast, transient world.”
— Alice Temperley MBE

The brand now focuses predominantly on direct-to-consumer, producing small-scale — locally, where possible — curated collections, alongside our seasonless Archive and Heritage collections, honouring the skilled hand-work and artisanal craft that goes into Temperley creations.

In July 2023, we ceased all promotions to align with our championing of slow fashion, commitment to responsibility and respect for garments. As timeless styles that transcend seasons, they are designed to be reworn for years to come.

The brand is partnered with SOJO, a clothing repairs and alterations service, which prides itself on door-to-door bike collection and delivery in London, making achieving the perfect fit a seamless part of your shopping experience.

To ensure every piece has the chance to be loved, we have launched an exclusive brand outlet at Phoenix Studios, our headquarters and flagship in Somerset, which will soon be a destination for repair, alteration and resale. We are also committed to biodegradable packaging and zero waste fabric.

As a cornerstone of Temperley, a brand deeply rooted in love for the beauty, slow living and nostalgia of the natural world — from the sweeping landscapes of Somerset and beyond — we pledge to continue to commit to greater responsibility for the brand wherever we see possible.
