Quick verdict
P.i.C Style (Partners in Crime) is a London micro-brand built around an 8-piece capsule wardrobe creating 50+ outfit combinations from 100% organic cotton, made in a local London factory. The anti-mass-production philosophy and organic materials are genuine, but the brand appears to be effectively dormant. Blog content dates from 2016–2017, inventory appears limited, and the homepage features a phone case product suggesting a possible pivot. Not recommended for active shopping.

What they do well
- Capsule wardrobe philosophy: 8 pieces creating 50+ outfit combinations, designed to directly combat overconsumption and promote slow fashion principles.
- Local London manufacturing: All P.i.C-label garments made in a London factory 'around the corner,' supporting local manufacturing under UK labour protections.
- Organic and deadstock materials: 100% organic cotton in various weaves alongside locally sourced deadstock fabrics, reducing both virgin material demand and textile waste.
- Curates other sustainable brands: The 'e.P.i.C' collection stocks partner brands including Matt and Nat bags, Mud Jeans, MVDT, and Mirabelle jewellery.
Room for improvement
- Likely dormant: Website is live but inventory appears limited. Blog content dates from 2016–2017. Homepage features a phone case product suggesting a possible pivot from the original capsule wardrobe concept.
- No third-party certifications: Despite claiming 100% organic cotton, no GOTS or other organic certification verifies this claim. No Fair Trade, OEKO-TEX, or B Corp.
- Minimal public presence: Founders known only by first names (Rhoda and Sarah). No Trustpilot, no recent press coverage, minimal social media activity.
About P.i.C Style
P.i.C Style (Partners in Crime) launched around London Fashion Week SS17 in approximately 2016, founded by two friends known as Rhoda and Sarah. The concept was radical in its simplicity: an 8-piece capsule wardrobe in 100% organic cotton that could create over 50 outfit combinations, directly challenging the fashion industry's overconsumption model.
The collection included the Hackney Jumpsuit, Hoxton Shirt, Camden Dress (which doubles as a jacket), and London Mini. All named after London neighbourhoods. Materials were 100% organic cotton in various weaves (denim, twill, supertwill), with some items at 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane. Fabrics were locally sourced, including sustainable, organic, and deadstock materials. All P.i.C-label clothes were made in a local London factory.
Beyond their own label, P.i.C curated the 'e.P.i.C' collection, stocking partner sustainable brands including Matt and Nat bags, Mud Jeans, MVDT, and Mirabelle jewellery. Prices ranged from £60 to £130 for own-label pieces. The brand was featured on Ecothes in '9 Sustainable Clothing Brands in London You Need to Know' and reviewed positively by the n4mummy blog.
The brand's current status is uncertain. While the website remains live, inventory appears limited and the homepage prominently features a phone case product—a significant departure from the original capsule wardrobe concept. Blog posts date from 2016–2017 with no recent updates. Social media presence is minimal. P.i.C Style may be effectively dormant despite maintaining a web presence.
