Lady White Co.

USA · Est. 2015 · Mid-range

Lady White Co. is a minimalist American designer clothing label for men, founded in Los Angeles in 2015 by Phillip Proyce. Proyce previously worked at the denim brand Rising Sun Jeans, and launched Lady White with a single product: a tubular-knit white jersey T-shirt. The brand describes its approach as "an uncommon approach to familiar classics", shaped by its view of American aesthetics. From that first tee, the collection has grown into everyday sportswear, including Our T-Shirt, the Athens and Municipal tees, rugby shirts, raglan thermals, heavy gusset crewnecks, hoodies, polos, button-downs, knitwear, jeans and outerwear. It also sells caps, socks and a selection of photography books. Everything is made in the USA. Lady White's custom jerseys and fleeces are knitted locally from domestically grown cotton and sewn by family-owned factories within ten miles of its design headquarters in Los Angeles. That locally made production gives the label close control over fabric weight, fit and finishing, and lets it develop its own knits rather than buying stock fabric. The result is a tightly edited range of natural-fibre basics designed for everyday wear and long use rather than seasonal trends.

Jane Valken

South Africa · Mid-range

Jane Valken is a South African designer, sustainable clothing label for women, based in Cape Town and run by owners Sarah Jane Bosman and Cecil Valken Bosman. Bohemian in its roots, the brand is built around colour, which it calls the backbone of the entire operation, from soft to bold prints and patterns. The couple aim to create a light-hearted space where colour and comfort come together, designed for the free-spirited and sun-loving. The range includes dresses, handloom dresses, shirts and pants, plus jewellery, scarves, ornaments and gifts. Signature pieces include the Rio Dress, the Picnic Knot Dress, the Gentle Breeze Dress, the Daphne Dress Handloom, the Rosa Dress Handloom and the High Waisted Pants Handloom. Everything is made in South Africa, in small batches it describes as made in handfuls.

Other pieces use hand-carved block prints. Jane Valken sells online and from its boutique in the Alfred Mall at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.

Permanent Vacation

France · Est. 2017 · Mid-range

Permanent Vacation is an upcycled, gender-neutral designer clothing label, founded in New Delhi and Paris in 2017 by Caroline Piccot. After years in the refined world of Parisian luxury fashion, Piccot began making singular garments for friends, and the project found new purpose when she immersed herself in Indian handcraft. Its first pieces took shape during the monsoon in Goa in 2017, made from vintage saris, before the studio found its home in New Delhi. The label makes shirts, dresses, tops, skirts, jackets, trench coats, trousers and hats, often as unique pieces or limited editions not tied to gender. Everything is handmade in India in close collaboration with skilled artisans in small workshops with fair working conditions. Collections do not follow the fashion calendar but unfold as stories inspired by the fabrics found. Each piece begins with a journey through India to collect vintage cotton and silk saris, alongside khadi, ikat, linen and silk. The brand also uses deadstock fabric from factories and turns every leftover scrap into small accessories or patchwork, aiming for zero waste. Permanent Vacation has been featured by NZZ Bellevue, Platform Magazine, Blumenhaus and LBB Delhi.
