Lone Design Club
LDC unites independent designers in hosting experience led concept stores
A collective of British Fashion + Lifestyle brands uniting their resources, audiences and reach to host pop ups.
We are excited to announce the launch of CO.LAB, an innovative pop-up micro-retail destination by Landsec and Lone Design Club, set to redefine the shopping experience.
Launching 26th of September 2024 at St. David’s Dewi Sant, CO.LAB transforms 5,000 square feet of prime retail space into a vibrant shopping destination where brands can test, experiment, and grow.
The retail landscape is evolving, and CO.LAB is at the forefront, making it easier than ever for D2C brands to establish a physical presence. By breaking down traditional barriers that have kept emerging brands out of brick-and-mortar spaces, it offers bespoke shop-in-shop units tailored to their needs. Beyond just retail, CO.LAB’s dynamic shared event space creates opportunities for brands to engage directly with customers and the community.
“32% of D2C brands said they would be establishing or expanding their use of pop-up and in-person experiences this year, with 31% planning on establishing or expanding their physical retail footprints”.
We’re looking for emerging brands, entrepreneurs, and creatives ready to elevate their retail presence. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the next big thing in retail with CO.LAB!
A Department Store For Online Emerging Brands: Welcome To The First Co.Lab In Wales Landsec and Lone Design Club have chosen Cardiff to test their debut department store for emerging D2C brands. The partnership, called Co.Lab will roll out in the U.K.

We are The London Designers Collective - We unite independent designers in hosting experience led concept stores, and create a resource sharing community. We connect independent fashion + lifestyle brands to their direct audiences, empowering consumers to discover + shop independent, transparent and unique product.
Since 2016 we’ve been revolutionising retail + the way we consume. All our brands are local, independent labels, fuelled by nothing but passion. We create short term concept stores appearing for 1-2 weeks at a time anywhere across London, creating a platform for consumers to discover + shop from independent brands with traceable and mindful practices, selling unique, exclusive + one of a kind items uncomparable to that on the high street. From basement-loomed british wool knitwear where every piece is 100% one of a kind, through to bamboo underwear with antibacterial properties made here in the UK or cauldron mixed candles hand poured in East London, we connect these brands directly to you.
