AURA QUE is an abbreviation of designer Laura Queening’ name, who founded the company in 2008 after graduating from London College of Fashion.
AURA QUE products are developed in collaboration between Laura and the small producers she works with in Asia. She sources and works with various charity handicraft units and fairtrade producer groups in Nepal, Vietnam and India to bring local sustainable materials, craft skills and designs to western markets, both for AURA QUE and bespoke projects.
The AURA QUE studio is based in Peckham, but the brand’s handbags, accessories, homeware and gifts are stocked by independent boutiques throughout Europe.
