LOCK & CO. X EPONINE

Lock & Co. announces an exclusive brand partnership for spring/summer 23 with luxury womenswear brand and fellow artisans, Eponine. Combining their joint passion for creating classic and idiocentric investment pieces, both brands have joined forces to create a limited-edition capsule collection that unites their colourful, elegant, and quirky designs.

About Eponine

Eponine London is a British bespoke womenswear label founded in 2011 by designer Jet Shenkman. Famous for its 1950s and 1960s silhouettes and heavily influenced by polished glamour. Like Lock & Co., the brand focuses on longevity, craftsmanship, and producing pieces in limited quantities.

The Collection

Designed by Lock & Co.’s award-winning milliner, Awon Golding, the capsule pieces have been handcrafted on-site in Lock & Co.’s 349-year-old London atelier using traditional millinery techniques. This stand-alone collection combines Lock & Co.’s classic vintage-inspired shapes with Eponine’s bold and playful use of colour and fabrics. 

I’m a long-time fan of Eponine and the joyful designs they create. In a landscape of muted women’s fashion, Eponine is a ray of sunshine. Their dresses never fail to bring a smile and are the perfect complement to my designs at Lock & Co. 

AWON GOLDING, Head Millinery Designer at Lock & Co. Hatters

I first walked through the ancient green door of Lock & Co. Hatters many years ago, to buy a trilby for my husband. I am so thrilled, all these years later, to be joining forces with Lock & Co. and with Awon Golding as Head Designer.

As part of this integrated partnership, both brands will be inviting customers to view the capsule collection in-store, which will be displayed alongside each of the brands independent spring/summer 23 collections.
