ABOUT US

 

 


Alice Asquith founded Asquith London in March 2002. Prior to Asquith London, Alice worked in the film, television and music business for over 12 years. However, having always had a passion for fashion and fabrics, Alice left the media world behind and finally realised her passion by launching Asquith London as a sportswear / lifestyle’ label – yoga clothing, Pilates and living in clothes that don’t feel “sporty”.

The focus of Asquith London is classic, elegant designs in natural, Bamboo and Organic fabrics that feel great against your skin. With a flattering and feminine fit, Alice designs the clothes to make the wearer feel good both inside and out and enhance the wearer’s best assets.

Alice comes from a long line of creative women; her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother all designed and made their own clothes. Alice grew up surrounded by designing, sewing and beautiful fabrics. This was the inspiration behind Asquith London – good tailoring and good quality fabrics.

In 2008 Alice learnt about the negative impact of cotton, with its alarming environmental and social consequences. So, she decided to produce clothing that would have a positive impact on people and the world around us. Collections are now made with Organic Cotton and Bamboo fabrics, along with the most ethical production methods – with the same quality, softness, feel and comfort as before, but with enhanced ethical values. Now Asquith London allows you to buy yoga tops, yoga trousers and other organic yoga clothes ethically without sacrificing quality, style and design.

About the Quality Fabric & Designs


Alice believes that each and every person is unique and extraordinary and thus deserving of only the best.
 She designs the clothing to focus on letting the individual shine through and not the brand logo. Asquith London offers 2 collections per year, but we always keep our 'bestsellers' in stock and roll these styles on, season after season, due to their popularity.

Our underlying trademark is consequently EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY and in this respect we have ensured that our wear is made from only the finest brushed organic cotton fabric and softest bamboo jersey – both with a hint of Elastane – perfect for the garment keeping shape.



The weight of the fabric is a slightly heavier than most active wear ranges use, and it has been specifically chosen because of its

                luxurious feel against the skin

                giving more support

                elasticity

                moderating transparency

                durability

Other reasons for our choice of fabric are:

                The Cotton jersey is made of 90 - 95% natural products, i.e. allows the skin to breathe - this in accordance with the yoga philosophies of non-violence and with respect to the conservation of Mother Earth.

                Fitted – The 5% Elastane in the cotton/spandex garments ensures the garment adheres to the body even when inverted

Asquith London ensures a luxurious feeling against your skin, as if it were a second skin.

Each garment too has been very specifically designed to ensure:

                Pure comfort – no tight elastic bands dig into the hips or waist giving one complete freedom of movement

                100% Support – the designs along with the weight of the fabric and the percentage of Elastane in the fabric ensure one has no need to wear a bra

                Versatility – One could wear our range at yoga, Pilates, gym, as well as for spa and leisure wear

                Timelessness – the designs will never be out of fashion – they are elegant and classic

                Ageless – the range is designed for anyone aged 30’s – 60’s….

 A Profile on Asquith London Yoga Wear

Asquith London Quality Yoga Wear, a top quality & exclusive brand of leisure wear which doubles as comfortable and stylish clothing. Asquith London was born out of Alice’s desire for natural, elegant clothing in flattering styles, which Alice felt just weren’t available in a yoga/leisurewear brand.

 Asquith London yoga clothes are perfect yoga practice because they are excellent quality - they won’t shrink or grow or fade, bobble or stretch. Add to this that the range has been specifically designed to ensure pure comfort at all times as well as having firm built-in support, making it undeniably the choice for every woman, seeking to commemorate her true individuality.

Which styles to choose?

Asquith London offers the perfect selection of yoga clothes, yoga pants or yoga trousers designed specifically for your yoga practice. Our clothes are available in soft and tonal colours and our yoga clothing styles are designed to be comfortable and loose or fitted but still great yoga clothes for great movement, leaving the wearer to focus on her yoga or Pilates practice.

The Concept Behind the Range

Asquith London yoga clothing is developed exclusively for yoga and Pilates. The Asquith London collection contains yoga clothes in coordinating pieces in contrasting tones with flattering styling so you can create your own individual ‘look’.

Each item of yoga clothing is beautifully made in natural breathable and organic fabric (we also offer bamboo clothing) for comfortable and easy freedom of movement. Loose-fit yoga pants or fitted yoga pants and yoga t-shirts made of organic cotton are great for your yoga classes since they absorb sweat easily and also allows for maximum comfort and breathability, cover up yoga tops or jackets to throw on before or after yoga class make up the perfect yoga clothing wardrobe.

 Styles in the Range

 Yoga clothing – Asquith London yoga trousers / yoga pants

Yoga trousers can be either loose or fitted yoga pants, but fitted enough to avoid fabric getting in the way during inversions.

We offer both Bamboo yoga clothes and Organic Cotton yoga clothing – both these natural fabrics are preferred yoga clothing – far more comfortable than synethic yoga clothing because they allow your skin to breathe and feel more comfortable for your yoga practice.

What makes Asquith London Yoga pants, Pilates trousers and yoga trousers so special?

 …they’re the perfect yoga trousers for everyone:-

Organic Cotton Yoga Trousers – Asquith London yoga clothing offers a broad selection of yogawear and yoga trousers, perfect for all your yoga practice:-

 - Organic Cotton Bootleg pants – fitted yoga trousers – ideal for freedom of movement for your yoga

- Organic Cotton Drawstring pants – looser yoga trousers than the above Bootleg yoga trousers, for a less dynamic yoga, with elastic at the back waist and a soft tie at the front.

- Organic Cotton Foldover yoga pants – with a versatile waistband, these yoga trousers are perfect for a softer yoga practice, whilst allowing for total comfort – they allow for great movement. These yoga trousers are also great for pregnancy yoga because they’re yoga trousers that you can wear wherever you want to at your waist – making them the perfect yoga clothing – flexible, breathable and comfortable.

- Organic Cotton Capri pants – perfect yoga clothing for a more dynamic yoga practice such as Ashtanga as well as your Pilates practice. With yoga wear for Ashtanga it’s important to have clear visibility of knees and ankles.

Asquith London Bamboo clothing in the form of 2 styles of Bamboo yoga trousers – Bamboo cropped yoga pants and Bamboo Palazzo pants – perfect yoga pants for all forms of yoga, also great for leisure wear.

 Yoga clothing: Asquith London yoga tops

Asquith London yoga tops are designed to be long enough and not too low cut so that you are comfortable when doing stretches. And not to bare tummies so the wearer can relax.

                We offer Yoga clothing in natural fabrics - more comfortable to wear. We try and avoid yogawear with underwires and belts. It is important for yoga clothing to feel that your movement is unrestricted. 

The Organic Cotton Racer Back Top is a great piece of Yoga Clothing and makes the perfect yogawear outfit when teamed with the Organic Cotton Bootleg Yoga Trousers / yoga Pants. The Racer back top also makes perfect yoga wear because it has an internal bra support.

The Organic Cotton Singlet is another item of comfortable yoga clothing  and perfect ‘partner’ to the Organic Cotton Drawstring Yoga Pants. The Singlet also makes perfect yoga wear because it has an internal bra support.

Asquith London also offers other styles of yoga tops and yoga clothing / yoga wear in the form of:-

- Organic Cotton T-shirts (comfortable and breathable yoga wear)

- Fitted Bamboo T-shirt – bamboo clothing that allows your skin to breathe – perfect yoga clothing and a great yoga outfit when teamed with the other items of Bamboo yoga clothing within the range – the Bamboo Cropped Yoga Pants and the Bamboo Palazzo Yoga Pants.

 Yogawear – cover ups

 A key focus of the range are our signature  ‘cover up’ yoga garments, these are yoga clothes that you can put on over your yoga outfit, after your yoga practice – in the Sivanasa (‘cool down’) phase.

Asquith London offers the following yoga tops in the Yoga clothing range:

-   Wrap Cardigan

-   Funnel Neck Zip top

Asquith London is deeply committed to each and every person who purchases one of our garments. The intention being that whilst wearing our wear, you are able to access your peaceful energy without any constraints and restrictions.
