Born out of a love of travel and strict ethical principles Komodo aspires not only to be a clothing label but rather a lifestyle brand fulfilling the needs of a well-travelled but ethically aware clientèle. This is a brand committed fair trade; a clothing company that strives to provide good conditions and a living wage for its workers and that also tries to make environmentally friendly choices. All this is laudable but Komodo know that fashion is a business and with that in mind the brand focuses on creating good quality clothes first and on being eco-warriors second. The result is stylish, modern clothing that looks good but that is, courtesy of the brand’s ethical ideals, completely guilt free. Inspired by its founder’s backpacking days Komodo’s clothes are ideal for international adventures but their pieces are also fit for day to day life. at home too. Unrestricted, fuss free and functional this is clothing for the free spirited but practical modern day bohemian.
Komodo has a distinctly relaxed aesthetic and their current womenswear collection continues in this vein. Komodo uses not only the most ethical fabric but also the most tactile giving their garments a unique look and feel. Simple but chic Komodo’s pieces are feminine and up to date but also straightforward and easy to wear. This is clothing that can be easily layered up or styled for a variety of different situations. A Komodo dress could be worn to the office or on the weekend. The brand’s designs have a laid back organic feel and yet are not too twee or ‘alternative’; these are clothes that would not look out of place in many a contemporary wardrobe. Yet unlike much of clothing on the high street Komodo’s clothes are refreshingly free of trends making them an excellent choice for those tired of cheap, fast, fashion. In short Komodo is not just a brand of eco-warriors and ethical fashion fans; rather it is simply a brand that creates stylish, relaxed clothing for everyone.
