"It's in my DNA. I find it hard to imagine doing anything else."

Welcome to Libertine The Label — where clothing isn’t just fabric and thread, it’s part of your story.

Libertine is more than a brand to me — it’s how I’ve made sense of the world since I was a child. I started sewing with my mum at three. By eleven, I was finding second-hand Victorian treasures and reworking them into outfits that felt more like me.

After three decades in the fashion industry, running cult-loved labels like Tantrum and Libertine, life hit pause. A Breast cancer diagnosis threw my world into turmoil, and I didn't realise the toll the stress would have on me. Then a pandemic. Everything changed. But the spark didn’t go out — it just shifted. And now, Libertine is reborn, for all of us Girls who’ve grown up, changed shape .... babies, menopause, the lot, a shifted pace, but we still want to feel beautiful, bold, and ourselves.

I know how hard it is to trust a new brand — especially online. To wonder if it will fit, if it’s worth it, if the fabric will breathe, if it’s cut for you. That’s why I design with real women in mind. Mid-size bodies. Menopause symptoms and all. Arms we sometimes want covered. Waistlines that fluctuate. I use natural, breathable fibres where I can that feel good all day, cuts that move with you, and thoughtful details that make dressing joyful again.

We make small batches — no mass production, no waste. Just well-crafted clothes that you’ll want to wear on repeat, across seasons, across moods. This is fashion made with heart — to become part of your life, not just your wardrobe.

I’m so glad you’re here.
