History[edit]
Riley Studio was founded in 2019 by Riley Uggla, a graduate of Istituto Marangoni.[2]
Riley Studio's focus on gender-neutral clothing allows them to ‘reduce the production of unnecessary garments by focusing on timeless pieces that can be styled by people of all genders and ages.’ [3]
In 2021, Little Riley Studio, its sub-brand for kids, partnered with the UK's first rental service for babies and toddlers, Bundlee, to provide a sustainable circular solution for children's clothing.[4]
Sustainable materials and textiles[edit]
Riley Studio uses recycled materials to create its pieces.[5]
Riley Studio is one of the first brands to incorporate EVO, a bio-based polyamide fiber, into the design of their collections, causing -25% CO2 emissions and using -35% water.[6]
With the aim of ‘creating a puffer that was made entirely from waste',[7][8]
