Hello wonderful!
We've been up and running for a while at AL Impact, and we've been lucky enough to receive tons of lovely feedback.
There's so much to share on AL Impact, and it's growing every day! To make sure that you get the best possible AL Impact experience, I've put together the ultimate guide to shopping our collections.
I've also got a few cheeky updates for you...enjoy!
At the top of the list is AL Academy. Every single Academy garment has been produced by our trainee throughout their time with us. This has been a real passion project, and it's amazing to see all the love our trainee's brilliant work has received.
Grade A:
Our grade A garments are absolutely tip top. These are the items that are absolutely perfectly made.
.
Grade B:
These garments are no less gorgeous than our Grade A item, but will have slight imperfections. The clothing available through AL Academy represents all the learning and development of our trainees, so it's a totally natural part of the process. These garments are beautiful and we would hate for you to miss out, so we've made them available at slightly lower price point.
.
Grade C:
And finally something new and a bit different...Pot Luck! Our Pot Luck's are a total mystery.
Occasionally we do have garments with small faults, such as marks on the fabric when it has been in dye. It is these garments that have been put in Pot Luck alongside garments which are perfect.
The cost of one Pot Luck is £25, however we can guarantee that every parcel has a value of over £50.
The parcels are grouped by style category (tops, bottoms or dresses) and then by size. The Pot Luck parcels are non-refundable but know you will have some amazing treats within!
End of Roll might be a familiar feature for anyone who's been with Aesthetic Laundry for a while, but we now have a dedicated space on AL Impact to showcase our ongoing EOR designs.
End of Roll might be a familiar feature for anyone who's been with Aesthetic Laundry for a while, but we now have a dedicated space on AL Impact to showcase our ongoing EOR designs. Fabric Waste continues to be a huge problem in the fashion industry. While a brand has some agency over the level of waste generated at the production stage, the waste that occurs before the fabric reaches the studio needs to be highlighted. Returned, imperfect and over ordered rolls form a surplus that often destined to be discarded. Through EOR, we've gathered those rolls and given them their chance to shine (and not go immediately to the bin).
This collection is amazingly varied and fluid. The nature of End of Roll means that garments are in limited runs. Although some might make a reappearance if we come across more of the same fabric, once a garment is gone it's (generally) gone. Fear not! It's also incredibly dynamic, so there'll always be a rich and diverse range to choose from. We might occasionally introduce sold out patterns in new fabrics, so it's always best to keep your eyes open!
A super important addition to our collections is Zero Waste. Available in Kids, Adults and Accessories, these products are designed to make low waste fashion accessible at all levels.
Zero Waste Kids
Kids' garments have always been a frequent request at AL, so it only seems right to give them their own space on Impact. Like all our Zero Waste items, they're made from off cuts- we therefore can't guarantee what we'll have available. That being said, Kidswear is a main offender when it comes to throwaway garments and we're really happy to offer you an alternative.

Zero Waste Adults
Our Zero Waste collection isn't just an excuse for us to make incredibly cute, teeny tiny jumpers. Honestly. I swear. Hand on heart. Zero Waste is for all ages, so we're bringing you a new range of cycle shorts in a selection of your fave AL fabrics and colours. With plenty of stretch and alternative lengths, they're perfect as an under or overgarment.

Zero Waste Accessories
We've been thinking about accessories for SO long, and we've finally done it! Totes! Who doesn't love a Tote Bag? They're a perfect way to limit plastic usage, but we're taking it one step further. Our Zero Waste Totes limit waste in production and at home, making them ultra sustainable. They are also gorgeous, obviously.

Introducing AL Impact- Archive
I earlier mentioned that once our EOR garments have sold out, they won't be back. Here's the caveat...
As with any business, we inevitably have the odd return or exchange throughout the season. We've introduced AL Archive as a platform to share those garments.
We can't guarantee what garments and sizes will make it back to the Archive, but it's another opportunity for anyone who might have missed out the first time round.
