Merlette
United States · Est. 2016 · Luxury
is founded in 2016 by Australian-born designer Marina Cortbawi, who previously served as international sales manager for Oscar de la Renta and director of international sales at Carolina Herrera before recognizing a gap in the market for elevated everyday pieces suited to travel. She enrolled at Central Saint Martins and the London College of Fashion for fashion design training, then traveled to India to develop fabrics and embroideries before launching this designer clothing brand. Named after a mythical bird in constant movement, and a symbol of the jetsetter in English heraldry, the Brooklyn-based atelier is known for its signature Soliman tiered dress, all-natural high-quality materials, and bespoke finishes such as hand embroidery and smocking. The first celebrity to wear the brand was Vanessa Hudgens, and the label remains beloved for pieces designed to make women feel elegant and at ease.
Alp N Rock
United States · Est. 2007 · Mid-range
Rock is founded in 2007 by Swiss-Canadian designer Susanne Reich, a luxury apparel brand inspired by European sport culture, alpine heritage, and dressing with intentionality. It started with four sketches, a cleared-out garage, and one woman's mission to provide girls in developing countries with the lifelong gift of an education. As a designer clothing brand, each design begins with craftsmanship, from fabric sourcing to timeless designs, custom detailing, and stitchwork, with each style produced in small batches to guarantee superior quality. The brand is B Corp certified and offers a wide range of premium apparel including outerwear, eco down jackets, sweaters, and apres-ski styles that seamlessly transition from city to slope. A portion of profits supports U-GO, funding university education for women in low-income countries.
Harlow
Australia · Est. 2012 · Mid-range
is an Australian designer clothing brand founded in 2012 by Kerry and Angelo in Melbourne, designed to serve plus-size and curvy women in sizes 12 to 26 who deserve fashion that reflects their personality and makes them feel fabulous. Every Harlow piece is designed by the founders themselves from first drawing to last fit, manufactured entirely in Australia by ethical, accredited factories, and made using premium quality fabrics in limited runs. The brand's Australian-made commitment is core to its identity — keeping local manufacturing skills alive, maintaining close relationships with makers, and ensuring each garment is built to last on high rotation rather than end up in landfill after a season. In 2024, after 12 years, Harlow paused operations.
