I like Mirth and Hunter Bell.

How are we defining "small"?

I like Mister Zimi (Australian brand) for fun, colorful dresses. My sister loves Lunatica Milano, but it’s a bit too pricey for me.

I’ve been slowly shifting that way myself. There’s something really special about finding a piece that not everyone else is wearing, and knowing it came from a thoughtful place. I really like Christy Dawn for their vintage inspired styles and sustainable approach, and Mirth has become a go-to for comfy cotton dresses that still look polished. I also stumbled on a surprisingly great cotton dress from a small brand through https://gma-deals-and-steals-today.jimdosite.com/ I didn’t expect much, but it ended up being one of those pieces I reach for constantly.

Donni has some fun mix and match basics ^

Amour Vert from San Francisco-- small-run, high quality clothing -- pretty prints/colors, washable silks, cottons, wool. Once you figure out your sizing (which is pretty typical) they are usually consistent. Super easy exchange, where they will send out the replacement size and you put the original item in mail. The clothing is a little more expensive, but they always have a welcome code and periodic sales. https://amourvert.com/

Reprise Activewear--plant based activewear basics so my skin can breathe easy https://www.repriseactivewear.com/

Just ordered some hair product from Back of Bottle (B.O.B). I found the heat primer made my hair silky smooth in the salon, and was pleased it does not have dimethicone in it. Really hard to find. https://backofbottle.com/

Jamie Haller--very expensive loafers/shoes. They sell out quickly, fit like butter.

I do a lot of smaller brand, clean beauty like Kjaer Weis

I get knitwear from this Swedish indie brand: https://www.dedicatedbrand.com/en/women/all-women#page=9

And cotton dresses from this Australian indie brand: https://www.karmaeast.com.au/collections/all-dresses

I have not yet ordered from Wolf and Badger but it's sort of a clearinghouse of indie brands, and they have a lot I like: https://www.wolfandbadger.com/us/

Anyone have any favorite independent fashion brands?
