Gifts for fashion victims

LF Markey Harley Top Maple (pictured above)

LF Markey’s clothes are perfect for life in London now: colourful enough to cut through lockdown blues, comfy enough to lounge about in and, most importantly, extremely I’m A Stoke Newington Creative chic. Take this ethically and sustainably-made top, which is screaming to be worn for dinner at Jolene. But of course it’s good. Londonness is in the brand’s DNA. LF Markey was started by a Central Saint Martins grad who has lived in London for nearly 20 years. You can find the shop in Dalston if you’d like.
