Big moves behind the scenes 🤝
Recently, Emma Boyes — co-owner of LENEL CLOTHING and mother to founders Ellis & Leyton — had the pleasure of meeting with Deborah Poole, owner of the iconic British fashion brand LUKE 1977 👏🇬🇧
With 25 years behind the LUKE 1977 name, it was a great opportunity to connect, share experiences, and learn from one of the established names in British fashion 💭📈
Debbie’s knowledge, experience, and success in the industry speak for themselves, but what stood out most was how down to earth, humble, and genuine she is… and honestly, one of the funniest people you could sit down and have a coffee with too 😂☕️🍹 (although apparently a piña colada was the preferred choice 😂)
At LENEL, we’re proud to continue building as a family-run brand with strong roots, big ambition, and a genuine passion for the culture 🖤
