HER STORY
Emma Brockbank, the designer and creator of Along Came She came up with the idea of a stylish, colourful yet sustainable clothing line in 2019. She was looking for a capsule wardrobe of items she could wear every day with a strong emphasis on creating designs that were both wearable yet fun. Perhaps Along Came She could be described as an empowering wardrobe of punchy designs injected with positivity and humour!
Having worked in the fashion industry and seen manufacturing first hand across the globe Emma puts sustainability as a key brand value when sourcing suppliers and fabrics, highlighting a conscious consideration about the environment alongside the ethical aspects about how her collections are designed and manufactured.
Emma is passionate about 'elevated casual wear' - clothing that not only takes us from work to leisure time but also helps us to expresses our uniqueness, our 'truth' as opposed to following the herd! She has a passion for colour and also puts a strong emphasis on fabric quality to create designs that last and can be treasured.
Having worked for more than 25 years as a fashion and print designer for many well known fashion brands she channels her passion for good design, love of colour and skill at creating fun, quirky slogans and prints into wearable designs. Her objective is to create collections that are up to date with current moods and reflect the reality of life modern life, embodying a positive spirit of empowerment and a bit of fun, colour and sparkle along with it!
Environmental and sustainable fashion is taken very seriously at Along Came She and all items are created with an emphasis on sustainable materials and ethical production in mind. Almost all of our fabrics are organic cotton with some items also being made from 100% recycled materials. Prints are also oeko-tex approved and packaging is recycled and compostable. Read all about how we have implemented sustainability as a core part of our brand mindset from materials through to manufacturing, packaging and our work ethic here.
Based in Lewes, East Sussex, her collections are inspired by the truths, quirkiness and fun of everyday life with a good dose of pop art influence, a spoonful of vintage aesthetics all enlivened by bold flashes of gorgeous colour and a little sparkle here and there!
She hopes her designs can uplift, motivate and inspire others. She believes the support of others, a collective ‘she’, combined with a constant injection of humour and the ability to laugh about our daily struggles are key to staying positive throughout the rollercoaster ride of modern life.
