Bath is known for its Georgian architecture, its thermal spa heritage, and a shopping scene that leans heavily toward heritage British brands. Less well known: it's also home to one of the UK's only destinations for handcrafted, sustainable Brazilian luxury fashion. If you're looking for something different from the usual high street offering, here's where ethical luxury fits into Bath's fashion landscape.
A City Built on Craftsmanship
Bath has always valued things made well and made to last — from its stone architecture to its long history of independent makers. That same spirit is what drew Lachesis London's founder, Cassila Dolman, to base the brand here. Each piece in the Lachesis collection — golden grass jewellery, leather handbags, silk scarves, handwoven hats and upcycled belts — is handcrafted by artisan communities across Brazil, many of whom rely on traditional techniques passed down through generations.
Where to Find Lachesis London in Bath
A curated selection of the Golden Grass Jewellery Collection is available in person at The Barton Gallery in Bath — a gallery space showcasing independent designers and makers. It's a lovely way to see and feel the texture of Golden Grass before buying, particularly for those new to the material.
What Makes It Different
Sustainable fashion can sometimes mean compromising on craftsmanship or design. Lachesis London takes the opposite approach: every product is sourced from a single artisan partner per category — Malu Pires for hats, Zanir Furtado for leather bags, By Femina for silk scarves — so each piece reflects real specialist skill rather than mass production dressed up as ethical.
- Golden Grass jewellery — handwoven from a rare Brazilian fibre, harvested once a year under strict conservation rules
- Leather handbags — handcrafted with 18ct gold-plated hardware
- Silk scarves — designed by Brazilian artist Tacila Passi for By Femina
- Handwoven hats — made from sustainable Carnaúba straw by master artisan Malu Pires
- Upcycled belts — handcrafted from reclaimed aluminium can tabs by Bottletop
Sustainability as a Foundation, Not a Marketing Line
Lachesis London partners directly with artisan communities and reinvests in social and environmental initiatives across Brazil, including support for the charity MASC and reforestation projects. The brand has been featured in Tatler, The Sunday Times Style, and was a finalist for the National Business Women's Awards.
