Founded by two friends living in London, Lyme Terrace offers high-quality, classic cuts perfect for everyday wear. Lyme Terrace’s timeless style reflects their slow fashion philosophy, which is immune to the micro-trends of fast fashion. The label is guided by three fundamental pillars: a commitment to organic & recycled fabrics, British manufacturing, and complete transparency.

Beyond Supply Chain Transparency
Transparency is a core pillar within the Lyme Terrace philosophy. They personally visit all of their first-tier suppliers, and have been known to conduct ‘surprise visits’ to second-tier suppliers in order to ensure that production is compliant with their high social and environmental standards. Beyond transparency of supply chain, Lyme Terrace also offers transparency of pricing, allowing customers to see the cost breakdown of each Lyme Terrace item in order to better understand the final retail price.
"We're both keen surfers and outdoor enthusiasts, but also love the energy of London. Escaping that energy and getting out into the wild is just as important." - Co-Founders Andrew Renton & Alex Brewster

Why We Love Them
Cycled
Most of the Lyme Terrace collection is made from natural, organic materials. Where these cannot be sourced, they use recycled materials. For instance, the Desert Sweatshirt uses a small amount of recycled polyester from used plastic bottles.
Eco-Conscious
Lyme Terrace takes multiple steps to reduce their environmental impact, including manufacturing completely within the UK. They also use organic and recycled fabrics, and the Corozo nut to create plastic-free buttons. They prioritise AZO-free, formaldehyde-free dye, and use natural packaging for shipping.
Made In Europe
All manufacturing takes place within Great Britain. The shirts are made in both Cornwall, and London. Embroidery takes place at Imprime Embroidery in London. *Some raw materials are sourced outside of the UK. For instance, the bamboo fabric used in the first generation bamboo t-shirts is sourced from an eco-textile manufacturer near Shanghai, China.
Natural Material
Lyme Terrace works with natural and organic fabrics such as GOTS certified organic cotton and bamboo. While they prioritise natural materials, they have one product- The Desert Sweatshirt- that is made from a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester.a
Third Party Certified
All cotton used by Lyme Terrace is GOTS certified organic. The bamboo viscose fibre is also organic and Oeko Tex 100 certified, which regulates chemicals used during production.
Transparent
Lyme Terrace works on a fully traceable supply chain all the way down to their textile mil partners in Shandong, China. They personally visit all first-tier suppliers, and have been known to conduct 'surprise visits' to second-tier suppliers to ensure safe and fair working conditions, and environmentally friendly procedures. Lyme Terrace also operates on a transparent pricing model. This allows customers to see the cost breakdown of each Lyme Terrace item in order to better understand the final retail price.
