Poolside was founded in 2016 by Ashleigh Stone, inspired by a winter escape to St. Barths, and positions itself in the premium segment of the sustainable accessories market. The brand targets fashion-conscious women who identify as frequent travellers or aspire to a vacation-oriented aesthetic. Its core distinction lies in the combination of slow fashion ethics, made-to-order craftsmanship, and a traceable supply chain that supports financial independence for female weavers and artisans. Prices range roughly from £100 to £320, placing the brand firmly in the premium tier, with personalisation options and collaborative collections adding further exclusivity.
