Made to order in our home town of Brighton, our scrunchies are made from 100% surplus cotton with a cool contrasting edge. The nice strong elastic also enables the scrunchie to be placed or tied 🫶🏻

Smoothly?! Us?! Naaaah!

What a huge bloody blow. The bots on the platform I’m using have blocked my campaign and as a result, I have to wait until their team can manually launch it tomorrow.

What a way to start! I’m praying we’ll be live by tomorrow evening and that this streak of bad luck finally comes to an end! I’ll keep you all posted 🫶🏻.

Hey gang! It’s time for me to close up for a much needed break over the festive period ♥️.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the kindness and support you’ve shown my little business this year. It has by far been the hardest year not just for the business, but me personally. Your support has kept me going and i’m forever grateful for you all.
From the 20th of Dec till the 3rd of Jan, I will cease shipping orders and take a break from customer service. You can continue to place orders as usual, but they will be shipped when I return to work on the 3rd. 
Have an INCREDIBLE Christmas and NY. Rest, eat, drink and be merry my loves ♥️.
Jess xx

Our Story

US + YOU = WE.

Based in Brighton, ILK + ERNIE create high end, comfortable and sustainable clothes. Our vision is to see every woman wearing clothes that not only turn heads but have a positive impact on the environment as well. We are passionate about girl power and invite you to join us on our mission.

For generations of women that live in a society that want to pit women against each other, we see it as our job to resist that tyranny. We are for spirited, free thinking females. Our collections are there to empower you, to ignite your confidence of self and to bring as many beautiful female souls together as possible.

Sisterhood to us means unity. We want that ethos to spread to everything we do and that means being socially responsible to the ever precious environment we all live in. All of our collections are ethically made by a courageous team of talented men and women in Deli, India. They receive all of the amazing treatment that a lot of us take for granted: fair wages, holiday pay, health insurance, safe working environments and EU standard working hours. What's more, they are given money towards putting their children through school, a continuous problem that India still heavily faces today.
