The Asceno woman in a nutshell? Confident, conscious, cosmopolitan. No matter what you have on the agenda, turn to the label's graceful designs, often made from sustainable materials – the brand uses responsible fabrics, from organic linen to bamboo satin.

Launched in 2014, Asceno is a brand founded by women, for women. Friends Lauren Leask and Poppy Sexton-Wainwright aimed to curate wardrobe essentials to take any woman through all aspects of her day. Modern in aesthetic, as well as in principle, they've sought to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry by sourcing sustainable fabrics.
