ELODIE BLACK SKIRT

Akyn

AKYN is a contemporary luxury womenswear label from the UK, launched by designer Amy Powney. Collections are built on denim and core wardrobe staples, alongside dresses, knitwear, wool coats and tailoring designed to be worn across seasons. The brand works with four main fibres: organic, recycled or regenerative cotton; non-mulesed wool; European flax linen; and TENCEL Lyocell. It traces its supply chain from fibre to finished garment and keeps long-term relationships with manufacturers, whom it visits regularly. Most pieces are made in Portugal, and some limited-run styles are produced at its atelier in east London. Good On You rates AKYN Good overall. It scores the brand Good for planet, citing organic cotton, plastic-free packaging and low-impact dyes, and Good for animals. People is rated It's a Start, as Good On You found no evidence of living wages in the supply chain.
