About BLANC

Not many people know, but conventional dry cleaning is extremely toxic. Despite its name, conventional dry cleaning is neither dry nor clean, as this process includes soaking the garments in solvent-based cleaners.

Support our mission of being London’s leading and most admired venture firm by supporting our founders to embed ambitious growth marketing strategies and practices with a measurably positive impact.

At BLANC, we want to change that. We are transforming the business of garment care and the wider fashion industry – introducing an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to conventional toxic dry cleaning, which delivers a better quality clean and is kinder to your skin, your clothes and our planet.

BLANC is a tech-enabled aftercare specialist offering eco cleaning, tailoring and laundry services. We have an online Home pick up & delivery service, as well as stores in central London and a large Atelier in West London (where all the fun stuff happens).

Since launching in 2013 we have cleaned close to a million garments and served 20,000 customers across London. As the UK’s fastest-growing natural garment care specialist, we are working with some of the most exciting fashion brands in the world. We are an innovative company with an entrepreneurial spirit and a great passion for everything we do.
