Cucumber Clothing
Cucumber is the brainchild of North London friends Nancy Zeffman (formerly in advertising with Saatchi & Saatchi) and Eileen Willett (ex-Nicole Farhi). They are friends who met at the school gates almost twenty years ago, and who recognised the need for a stylish, sustainable clothing and sleepwear brand that used luxurious cutting edge fabric technology for modern multi-tasking women.
All pieces are made from beautifully soft, performance fabrics that are anti-crush, thermoregulating, multifunctional, easy care and simply incredibly comfortable to wear. Cucumber is all about ‘making luxury comfortable’, creating the perfect pieces for busy lives.
Sustainability and slow fashion are at the heart of what Cucumber does. Every collection is designed, sampled, manufactured, graded and warehoused all within a five-mile radius in London. All of Cucumber’s fabrics last up to six times longer than cotton, require minimal washing, energy consumption and water waste. Cucumber’s slow fashion ethos has fans in everyone from Claudia Winkleman to Lisa Armstrong.
Between Nancy and Eileen, their complementary characters and continuing friendship have helped create their vision for Cucumber.
