Created in 2006 by designer Nin Castle, Goodone was born out of a love for great design and a resistance to the wasteful impact the fashion industry has on the environment. Specialising in ‘Up Cycling’ Goodone combines unrivalled design, with innovative use of new British and sustainable fabrics and reclaimed textiles gathered from textile recycling factories, end of roll and off cuts from cashmere and textile mills.
