Our Story

At Forty One, we create pieces designed to make you feel confident and incredible, all while keeping the planet in mind.

Founded in 2020 by ex-fashion buyer Caitlin, Forty One is a response to fast fashion’s chaos. We wanted something different - clothing that doesn't just make you feel incredible, but that you can also be proud of purchasing. Every piece we create is designed to make you feel your absolute best self.

Our ethos? Slow it down. We mainly operate using a made-to-order model, cutting out waste and only making what’s needed. We source deadstock fabrics and recently launched an upcycling project—because beauty can be created from existing products and materials.

At Forty One, we believe true confidence never goes out of style. Our mission is to create effortless, standout pieces that make you feel amazing while respecting the planet.

  • Sustainability

    At Forty One, we believe that feeling good shouldn’t come at the expense of our planet. We mainly operate with a made to order model means there is minimal waste. We also, where possible, source deadstock 'end of the roll' fabrics which would of otherwise gone to landfill. With that said we do know that buying new clothes is not sustainable, we want to try and reduce our impact as much as possible by only making clothes once ordered or creating new products from existing materials or garments.

  • Made to Order

    We make your garments once recieving an order. As we only hold a few items in stock, we advise 2-3 weeks until dispatch after your order has been received. By operating this way we a minimising our waste, and reducing our impact on landfill. As we try to use some deadstock fabrics, there will be limits on how much is available. However if this fabric runs out we can source something very similar for you.

  • Requests

    At Forty One, our customers are always at the forefront of our minds. Therefore we offer a request service. If there is a shape you like but you would like it in a colour we currently don’t offer, please message us directly. We will source the fabric for you and make you your own personalised set.
