About Lou & Grey
What We Make
This is a clothing label born out of
instinct. We noticed women no longer want to choose between style and comfort,
work or weekend wear—so we created an edited line of easy, texture-rich
essentials for every day.
Who We Make It For
When we designed this collection, we had a
certain girl in mind. She’s a free spirit who floats in and out of every
situation with ease. Someone who’s aware of her surroundings yet still makes
time for daydreaming. When she loves something, she holds onto it forever. She
likes to look, listen, touch, feel ... discover. If she stumbles, a smile is
never far behind. She’s a beautiful mix of contradictions.
Who We Are
We are a movement. We are an experience for
all the senses. We follow our instincts. We thrive on endless ways different
things can co-exist. We are connected through conversation, not just
technology—we use technology for the better and to simplify our lives. We are
out there in the world discovering, bringing people together and creating a
culture. We believe that nothing is defined by one thing—the ampersand
symbolizes the promise of something more. We are a library, a workshop, a test
kitchen. People don’t stop by, they settle in.
We are Lou & Grey.
