The Story behind
The co-founder and Creative Director, Valdone Auksoriute graduated in Fashion Design from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, in 2019. Valdone developed her own design aesthetic based on a minimalistic and timeless look. While collaborating with a communication designer and fashion photographer Kajetan Swiecki, together they came up with an idea for a sustainable fashion brand. The business plan got shortlisted for the RGU Start Up Accelerator Programme, where the initial proposition came to fruition.
‘As a responsible fashion brand, we serve the client with high-end luxurious products, which are made individually in the Scotland with exceptional attention to detail.’

VALDONE Au promotes minimal lifestyle and mindful consumption while encouraging the client to choose things that last.
