About Us
What began with us three siblings, Annabelle, William and Francesca, running a stall at Portobello market selling our mum's 80's wardrobe in 2019, has grown into a clothing business where we make sure fairly made and fairly paid fashion is the focus.
Our own designs are made by lovely groups of artisans in Morocco and India, who hand make each garment and where nothing is mass produced. We only have a small number of pieces produced per collection. Every single Mr Portobello coat is unique! No one else will have the exact same coat as you.
Our vintage pieces - our one off Moroccan kaftans and Japanese haoris and kimonos - are hand picked by us, and I feel it is so important to wear and promote second hand clothing as much as fair fashion!
You can follow our Instagram here or Facebook here to keep up to date with everything we are up to, from pop up shops to fairs and festivals.

original Designs - Tops

Styling and Sizing
Our vintage pieces tend to be one size fits all, with specific dimensions available in their product description. We offer a shortening service if a favoured piece is slightly too long. While most Kimonos and Kaftans should fit any vintage fashionista up to a size 20 it is best to get in touch if you have any concerns. Our up-cylced designs are more traditionally sized, from small to extra Large, with a slight oversized bias rather than under.
