Championing innovative, eco-friendly natural fabrics to create comfortable, long-lasting clothing at fair prices.
A local shop, with a global reach.
From our cosy studio and warehouse in Deptford, Southeast London, our small team designs and develops each piece from the ground up, styles and photographs our collections, hand-packs every order, and personally answers every message. We're on a mission to make sustainable clothing accessible to everyone — and we'd love for you to be part of it.
2012
Forgotten Tribes was founded by husband-and-wife team Steven and Yi, driven by a shared desire to create premium, eco-friendly garments that last at fair prices.
Natural & biodegradable
Championing natural and innovative cellulosic fabrics is at the heart of what we do. We select high-quality fabrics and yarns, crafting each piece to be gentle on your body and kind to the planet.
Slow fashion, less waste.
We partner with manufacturers who use green energy and minimise pollution and waste. At our core is slow fashion — timeless styles, worn again and again, made to last. We believe the best packaging is no packaging: no unnecessary garment bags, hangtags or marketing inserts, and FSC-certified, recyclable and biodegradable mailers.
Body first, optimal comfort
No one looks stylish if they aren't comfortable. We take a body-first approach, so our designs move with you — easy and unrestricted throughout daily life.
Confidence for all ages & sizes
Most womenswear is designed for a UK size 10, yet most women wear a 12 or above. We start every design at a size 14 — a truer reflection of real bodies.
Calm & joy in getting dressed
Simple, well-made, versatile pieces with thoughtful, original details. A relaxed silhouette and effortless elegance, all made to mix and match.

Have bought several times from Forgotten Tribes and never been disappointed. My viscose harem pants in plain colours have been so versatile and practical — they even came on holiday to Crete with me.Penelope · Trustpilot
