About Us

Numbat – Fashion with Soul, Handmade in Norfolk

Welcome to Numbat Fashion, part of Numbat Ltd – a British family-run business rooted in craftsmanship, sustainability, and small-batch production.

From our Norfolk studio, we design, develop, and handcraft our limited-edition womenswear collections, using natural and recycled fabrics carefully sourced from Italy. We also proudly manufacture garments for Numbat Sport and Numbat House of Apparel (for start-ups and independent brands) in our own family-owned factory in Europe, where we’ve been producing clothing with care since 2003.

Our Story – A Brand Born from Love and Promise

Numbat Fashion was inspired by the life and work of our beloved daughter, Veronika Guardi – a British fashion designer whose distinctive style blended vintage influences with modern simplicity and a deep appreciation for British heritage and nature.

Tragically, Veronika passed away at age 34 after her battle with bladder cancer. Today, her unique spirit lives on through every design we create – pieces that feel as timeless, beautiful, and enduring as her vision.

Our Philosophy – Slow, Ethical, and Timeless

Timeless, Not Trend-Driven
We believe in slow fashion – thoughtful design, lasting quality, and a connection that outlives fleeting trends.

Fabric-First Approach
Each garment begins with the finest natural and recycled fabrics. We source from Italian mills renowned for sustainability and craftsmanship, ensuring every piece feels as good as it looks.

Ethical & Sustainable by Nature
Because we manage our own production – from design to delivery – we maintain full control over ethical standards, small-batch manufacturing, and uncompromising quality.

Fashion with Meaning
Numbat was born from love and respect for the natural world. We design clothing with purpose: pieces that empower women to express themselves, feel beautiful, and choose quality over quantity.

Our Promise

Every piece we make is crafted with care by a family who believes in heritage-quality clothing. Whether it’s a Numbat Fashion dress, a Numbat Sport teamwear order, or a start-up brand we’re helping to grow, our mission is the same:
to create garments that last, that matter, and that carry a little bit of soul.
