La Playa supports fashion designers, fashiontech and wearables businesses with practical, jargon-free advice and specialist insurance.
Have you been paying lip service to insurance? Now’s the time to engage!
In an industry where deadlines are critical, fashion insurance isn’t just about processing a claim, it’s about thinking laterally to solve challenges and problems fast. Fashion presents a very specific set of risk exposures – and now your digital and online risks can expose you globally.
What if...
...you're accused of IP infringement – print, cut, plagiarism, copyrights, domain name rights?
...you lose creative work and/or income through a hack/virus attack - or employee theft?
...your customer doesn’t like your work or advice and refuses to pay for it?
We speak your language, and we understand the risks and pressures you face. From concept to catwalk, we’re right beside you, protecting your business as it grows.
Fashion covers include:
Intellectual Property Insurance - protecting your ideas and defending you against infringement allegations
Property: cover for digital assets, prototypes, offices, computers, merchandise, stock, samples
Business Interruption: protects income streams during physical and technological disruptions (fire, flood, power & telecommunications failure)
Public Liability: for compensation payments arising from damage to third party property or personal injury
Product Liability: in case your product causes harm
Event insurance for fashion shows/shoots and studio shows including Transit of Stock or Collections
Event Cancellation and Non-Appearance
Employers’ Liability Insurance: mandatory in the UK. Protects you from liability costs to your employees arising from injury or illness in the workplace
Cyber Liability: cover against cyber threats and data loss that leads to a fall in revenue or reputation
Professional Indemnity: protects against allegations of negligent advice from your website and in a consultancy capacity, breach of duty or mismanagement
Directors & Officers Liability - critical protection for business managers
Business Travel & Personal Accident - valuable cover for staff on the move
Key Person Insurance: protecting your organisation's future
Employee Benefits - helping to attract & retain top talent

“I just love it that you are all in the loop of what we are doing.”
“Thanks very much for your excellent service. You seem to be alone in the whole insurance world in understanding our business and its needs!”
“Your colleagues were amazing in helping me after hours. They were professional and very quick in dealing with me.”
These guys are the only insurance people I will tolerate speaking to these days, as they are actual humans (with both a brain and a heart!) and offer very good packages too - they answer calls and emails promptly and when I had an issue recently with my bank were very helpful to get it fixed.
