The Handloom

USA · Est. 2014 · Mid-range

The Handloom is a sustainable, handmade clothing label for women, founded in Los Angeles in 2014 by Cansu Cansever. A self-taught designer who previously worked in the arts in Los Angeles, she started the label to link Turkey's traditional weaving craft with modern life in the US. The result is relaxed, slow-fashion clothing designed for everyday ease and summer. The range includes maxi and mini dresses, shirts, tops, pants, shorts, kimonos, kaftans and matching sets. Signature pieces include the Aura Low Back Maxi Dress, the Muse Braided Straps Dress, the Lucid Flow Shirt and the Kaya Drawstring Pants. Every piece is hand-loomed in Turkey by artisan partners, many in remote villages, using fabrics created exclusively for the brand from 100% Turkish cotton, organic cotton and Tencel. Hand-loomed production is the label's most important value, and it works on fair trade principles, prioritising safe, clean working conditions and a transparent answer to the question "Who made my clothes?" The Handloom remains independent and founder-led. It has no store of its own and is sold through many retailers around the world, with its main office in Los Angeles.

Facettes Studio

France · Est. 2023 · Luxury

Facettes Studio is a minimalist French designer clothing label for women, founded in Paris in 2023 by Marie-Laure Dumon. A Paris-born designer with around ten years of fashion experience, including six in New York, Dumon set out to redefine the modern, timeless wardrobe without compromising on durability. Her signature style is masculine-feminine, with structured yet fluid designs inspired by the 70s and 90s that can be worn from morning until night. The label focuses on tailoring, including blazers, tuxedo-style jackets, trousers, waistcoats, skirts and dresses in wool flannel, wool twill, gabardine, cotton velvet and washed linen. Pieces are designed in Paris and made in France by Atelier Masla, a workshop in the 18th arrondissement, and by carefully selected workshops in the Paris area. Facettes Studio upcycles existing deadstock fabrics from French and Italian luxury houses, with natural fabrics woven in France, Italy or Japan, and bans synthetic fibres such as polyester and polyamide. It works in small editions rather than seasonal collections, with some styles offered on preorder to avoid overproduction. Working without intermediaries, the independent label skips seasonal sales and welcomes customers to its Paris studio by appointment.
