About The Level Collective

Made with Nature. Designed for Adventure.
Proudly small and independent, The Level Collective is a team of curious designers, artists and master makers bound by a love of the outdoors and beautiful, ethically handcrafted product. Our mission is to push for fairness and craft to be standard in the clothing industry.
The opposite of fast fashion
We make timeless supplies inspired by the seasons found outside, not those dictated by fashion. Our backpacks are made slowly, by hand and to order, in Britain, using the finest natural, organic and recycled ingredients. Designed to endure, to perform, and to gain character through age and adventure.
Live level
We are drawn to nature for balance. Long nights by the fire, the stillness of forests, the ferocity of the ocean. The wild is where we feel most alive, and where we return from ready to do our best work. So go seek adventure. Live a balanced life.

Meet Lesley. She's been working with waxed cotton and leather since she was nineteen, and every backpack we make passes through her hands before it reaches yours, then carries her signature inside.
A wonderfully warm human with incredible attention to detail. We're very lucky to work with her.

I can't get over how well made it is. Such crafts(wo)manship. Keep up the amazing work.

You can feel the extra quality in the weight of this item compared to cheaper t shirts you get on the market. Washed on 30 degrees and kept its shape and didn't shrink that I've noticed.

Thank you for this wonderful backpack. I use it every day. Special thanks to Lesley for her work.

Growing increasingly fed up with trendy brands and fast fashion I went on the lookout for more ethical and personal businesses to get a few tshirts from. That's how I came across The Level Collective. I bought 3, the quality feels great, they fit very nicely.

Used for short weekend trips. Carried everything easily, waterproof. Quite comfy for hikes as well on the train.

These t-shirts feel SO good with material that feels robust. Usually after a wash t-shirts lose the 'brand new' feeling, but these do not. Also the designs last well after many washes.
