Suits You The Label hasn’t launched yet, but it’s coming soon and you won’t want to miss it when it does. Founded by Lauren McCarthy, who has been working on the brand for two years after moving from the real estate sector. She founded the brand as she couldn’t find quality workwear for an affordable price so she decided to create her own. It’s a mid luxury women’s workwear brand focused on tailored suits, co-ords and more. The premise is powerful but feminine.
