The Fold September 2021 - For The Love Of Workwear

O D E

to modern workwear “It’s finally here. This is the moment many of you return to the office. You’re ready to embrace fashion again, have fun with your clothes and make a statement. Whether you’re flexi or full time, we’re here to help you to stand taller, bolder, braver. Get ready to step out and stand out. This is your moment to shine.”

Polly McMaster, Founder and CEO, The Fold “We’ll relish in dressing up. We’ll re-learn all that forgotten muscle memory that allows us to walk comfortably on a kitten heel and hold our shoulders back in a boat neck.

We’ll take pleasure in each other’s flair for colour and taste for tailored cuts, having spent so much time away from such things.

We’ll openly compliment each other rather than eye enviously from afar, fearing lack of professionalism. ‘You look great!’, we’ll say, with delight and affection. ‘You do’.”

About The Fold

Design Ethos

Mindful Growth

Founded by Polly McMaster in 2012, The Fold is an award-winning British brand focused on creating workwear that inspires women to feel confident and put-together every day. Bringing together a community of like-minded women, our mission from day one has been to empower, champion and dress women to realise their ambitions.

Every piece is designed in-house, using luxurious, high-grade fabric.

Most garments are fully lined and attention is given to every detail. We take pride in supporting some of the best ateliers and craftsmanship in the world. Being a direct-to-consumer business means we’re able to offer designer quality without the wholesale mark-up.

From suppliers to products and packaging, we’re always asking how we can approach things more sustainably and ethically.

We’ve taken steps to reduce waste, improve our carbon footprint and make positive changes wherever we can. Find out more about our Mindful Growth journey: thefoldlondon.com/mindfulgrowth

All clothing styles are available in a UK size 6 to 16. Our shoes are made in Italy and are available in size 36 to 41.
