ES Made by Me

USA · Est. 2013 · Mid-range

ES Made by Me is a minimalist American clothing and sewing label from designer Elizabeth (Liz) Pape, who founded Elizabeth Suzann in Nashville in 2013. Pape began by sewing clothes in her spare bedroom and selling them on Etsy, and Elizabeth Suzann became known for slow-fashion wardrobe staples made to order in small batches. After closing its Nashville production in April 2020, Pape relaunched the business as a small studio, now called ES Made by Me. Its mission is to make clothing that feels like home, and it invites customers to engage with how clothing is made, whether they buy a finished garment or sew it themselves. The shop sells made-to-order and ready-to-ship clothing such as the Florence Pant, Georgia Midi, Andy Trouser, Linn Tee and Clyde Trench, along with digital sewing patterns of those signature styles, linen, silk and organic cotton fabric, and live and on-demand sewing workshops. Pape designs, patterns and samples every garment in her home studio, and each piece is cut and sewn by a small, woman-owned partner factory or a local contractor. The brand works with natural fibres and aims to become a zero-waste studio.

Filip+Inna

Philippines · Est. 2009 · Mid-range

Filip+Inna is a Filipino designer label, founded in Mandaluyong City in 2009 by fashion designer Lenora "Len" Cabili. Cabili grew up with the indigenous weaves and fabrics of the Philippines and knew their value early on. Rather than an eponymous line, she wanted a name that pointed back to the Philippines: "Filip" plus "Inna", for Filipina, with the plus sign signifying two things coming together. The range includes dresses, tops, button-down shirts, skirts, pants, vests and coats, plus scarves, sarongs and tote bags. Signature pieces include the Odie Dress, the Obi Opera Coat, the Luna Button Down, the Ceelie Skirt and the Ava T-Shirt. Each garment brings in ancient techniques of weaving, embroidery and beadwork from different indigenous groups of the Philippines, and many use handwoven and cotton fabrics. The label's mission is to revive and preserve traditions in danger of being lost, working with groups of artisans across the archipelago so they can keep practising their craft while improving their livelihoods. Filip+Inna remains independent and is led by its founder, celebrating what is distinctly Filipino.

The collection centres on 100% waterproof, breathable raincoats for men and women, such as the Raincho, Harmattan, Rive Gauche Redux, Walker and Hokkaido styles, plus waterproof caps, bucket hats, totes and suit bags. Coats are made in Poland. Its technical fabrics, sourced in Japan since its first collection in 2009, are 70–100% recycled polyester, mostly Bluesign certified and all Oeko-Tex certified.

The Series NY

USA · Est. 2016 · Mid-range

The Series NY is a gender-neutral, upcycled American designer clothing label, founded in New York in 2016 by Ella Wiznia. Wiznia started the brand while recovering from an eating disorder, wanting to make clothing that felt different from the unrealistic bodies she saw in fashion advertising. Learning about the industry's environmental impact, she committed to working only with secondhand and sustainable materials, and the label champions clothing without gender, for all bodies. The Series makes one-of-a-kind jackets, quilted chore jackets, shirts, shorts, jeans, pinafores and accessories from vintage quilts, crochet blankets, embroidery, antique and deadstock textiles. Every piece is made from start to finish in New York by its small in-studio team or skilled local artisans. The brand celebrates crafts long tied to domesticity and undervalued as "women's work", choosing damaged or unfinished quilts rather than cutting up pieces in perfect condition. Apart from some crochet made with organic fibres, garments use only pre-existing materials, and its makers set their own rates to earn a living wage. The Series has been featured in Lampoon Magazine, appeared in Vogue's street style coverage of New York Fashion Week and held a residency at Burke Mercantile.
