House of Flint’s clothing is versatile and long-lasting, and designed to adjust to changes in the body, and every garment is handmade to order to fit each individual wearer.

Founder Jessica Townsend said: “I started my brand as I wanted to be creating fashion that fit in with a slower and more sustainable way of living. that she designs her clothes to fit any body size or shape.

"I'd always thought the fashion industry wasn't a good fit for me, but once I discovered the slow fashion movement it felt like everything fell into place.
