Company

Completedworks is an award-winning fashion brand based in Marylebone, London. Working in accessories and homeware, with a practice focused on recycled and renewable materials, the brand's signature pieces gently roll against the tide of convention - using sculptural forms that weave, loop, twist, flow, enfold and expand to explore broader questions about the human condition and trade blows with history, politics and the language of art.

We believe that building an important and lasting brand will only be possible with the strength and entrepreneurial spirit of our team and colleagues. In return, we endeavour to create a supportive working environment with a focus on learning, collaboration, development and individual growth.
