About The Fold
Design Ethos
Mindful Growth
Founded by Polly McMaster in 2012, The Fold is an award-winning British brand focused on creating workwear that inspires women to feel confident and put-together every day. Bringing together a community of likeminded women, our mission from day one has been to empower, champion and dress women to realise their ambitions.
Every piece is designed in-house, using luxurious, high-grade fabric. Most garments are fully lined, and attention is given to every detail. We take pride in supporting some of the best ateliers and craftsmanship in the world. Being a direct-to-consumer business means we are able to offer designer quality, without the wholesale mark-up.
From suppliers to products and packaging, we’re always asking how we can approach things more sustainably and ethically. We’ve taken steps to reduce waste, improve our carbon footprint and make positive changes wherever we can. Find out more about our Mindful Growth journey: thefoldlondon.com/mindfulgrowth
