Beulah is an ethical clothing label that empowers vulnerable and trafficked women trapped by modern slavery. To do this, they've incorporated traditional craft techniques such as hand-weaving and embroidery into their collections, enabling the women in our supply chain to gain meaningful employment.

Lavinia's co-founder, Lady Natasha is good friends with William and Kate. The 38-year-old has known William since they were children as their fathers, Simon Isaacs, 3rd Marquess of Reading and Prince Charles, are good friends. She's also married to one of Kate's ex-boyfriends from her university days.
