BLANC is a sustainable Fashion Services company, specialising in Luxury Fashion. At BLANC, we believe that the world needs a sustainable and convenient way to care for the many clothes designers produce each year and that people want a trusted and caring partner to do this for them. A partner who understands that we need to make all beautiful fashion items last. BLANC for all fashion items in all possible ways. We clean clothes, even the most delicate, in a healthy, natural and sustainable way, using biodegradable and health-friendly products instead of the toxic chemical solvents traditionally used by conventional dry cleaners. We fit, repair, restore, restyle, alter or create bespoke new garments out of cherished old ones. We offer our award-winning services in our beautiful London stores and via a delivery service for private and corporate customers, which can be booked online or via our app. Since launching in 2013 we have cleaned close to a million garments and served over 20,000 B2C and 400 B2B customers across London and the UK.
