I started Sophie Darling because I wanted to create something meaningful in an industry where fast fashion and mass production often overshadow creativity and sustainability. I’ve always believed that fashion should be about more than just trends—it should tell a story, celebrate craftsmanship, and reflect the values of both the maker and the wearer.

At the heart of Sophie Darling is my love for screen printing. There’s something magical about the process—the way each layer of ink is carefully applied to create a unique, hand-finished piece. For me, screen printing isn’t just a technique; it’s an art form. Every design is crafted with care, blending traditional methods with my own creative experimentation. This hands-on process allows me to give each piece its own personality, making it truly one-of-a-kind. No two prints are ever exactly the same, and that’s something I’m incredibly proud of.

Our made-to-order service is a key part of Sophie Darling’s ethos. I’m committed to creating fashion in a way that reduces waste and respects the environment. By only producing pieces when they’re ordered, I can avoid the pitfalls of overproduction and ensure that every garment is made with intention. This also means that each piece is personal to the customer—it’s crafted just for them, with attention to every detail.

I founded Sophie Darling because I wanted to slow things down and focus on what really matters: high-quality materials, thoughtful design, and sustainability. It’s about creating clothing that’s built to last, both in terms of durability and timeless style. Through screen printing, I’m able to infuse each piece with artistry and individuality, offering my customers something truly special.

Running Sophie Darling has allowed me to combine my love of fashion, art, and the environment in a way that feels authentic to who I am. Each collection is a reflection of that passion, and I’m excited to continue growing this slow fashion journey, one hand-printed piece at a time.
