Pashion Footwear

USA · Est. 2016 · Mid-range

Pashion began with an injury. In 2016, Haley Pavone, then a business student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, had taken off her heels at a university formal when another dancer's stiletto went straight through her bare foot. Her question was simple: why should women choose between heels that hurt and going barefoot? The name is short for "practical fashion". Industry veterans called a heel that turns into a flat impossible. It took about two and a half years of student-led R&D before Pashion launched online in June 2019. The breakthrough is the Stelo™, a patented, removable arch support. A quarter turn releases the heel and Stelo together, and the flexible sole relaxes into a flat. Heel kits in 1.5, 3 and 4 inch block, stiletto and flare shapes swap onto any pair, so one shoe covers the office, a wedding and the walk home. Engineers with Nike and Adidas experience shaped the design, and the shoes passed two years of professional wear-testing. On Shark Tank in 2021, Pavone turned down a royalty-based offer to keep reinvesting revenue. Wide-width styles, wide-calf boots and a bridal line extend the range.

India · Est. 2017 · Affordable

Swoon is a minimalist Indian designer clothing label for women and kids, founded in Gurugram in 2017 by designer Sakshi Astir.

Collections such as Earthen use breathable crochet fabric in earthy hues, produced in small batches. The brand follows a zero-waste initiative, using all its waste fabric in packaging as part of a sustainable, eco-friendly approach to manufacturing.

Gabriela Coll Garments

Spain · Est. 2016 · Luxury

Gabriela Coll Garments is a minimalist Spanish luxury designer clothing label, founded in Barcelona in 2016 by Gabriela Coll. Combining a fine arts background with the inspiration of her Spanish Mediterranean history, Coll is concerned with the classical and inherent character of fabrics.

The range covers pieces for men and women, including leather jackets, coats, trousers and skirts, alongside bags, accessories and footwear such as its Sendra boots. Everything is made in Spain, crafted in the Barcelona studio or by independent local manufacturers. Traces of thoughtful artisanship are visible in each garment, linking the final piece to its origin and production process. As a service for clients, all garments are available custom tailored, and private studio visits and made-to-measure appointments can be booked at the Barcelona office. Gabriela Coll Garments has a strong selection of international stockists and private clients, including Assembly New York and Maidens Shop, and has released exclusive collections with Japan's Super A Market.

Runaway Bicycle

India · Est. 2014 · Mid-range

Runaway Bicycle is a sustainable Indian designer clothing label for women, founded in Mumbai in 2014 by Preeti Verma. Verma built the first collection in a one-bedroom apartment after work hours while holding a day job in advertising, driven by a personal need for clothes that felt comfortable before they looked good. Her lack of fashion training was offset by knowledge of traditional weaving and a belief that the most comfortable clothes are worn by children and people in physical work, such as painters, mechanics and road workers. The label makes dresses, tops, shirts, trousers, skirts and jackets, along with accessories and home décor. Everything is handmade in India, linking traditional weavers and dyers across the country, including handloom weavers in Bengal, with craftspeople in its Mumbai studio. Runaway Bicycle works with handloom and hand-spun cotton, silk, linen and wool, with some pieces hand-painted or naturally dyed. Its ethical philosophy is to make less: clothes designed to outlast trends and seasons, soften with age and withstand many washes, so customers buy less and wear longer. The label has shown at Lakmé Fashion Week and been featured by Vogue India, Vogue Singapore, Elle India and Mint.

USA · Est. 2015 · Mid-range

THE GREAT. is an American designer clothing label for women, founded in Los Angeles in 2015 by Emily Current and Meritt Elliott. The Northern California natives became best friends at UCLA, bonding over denim, Americana and hunts for vintage jeans, then worked as celebrity stylists before launching Current/Elliott in 2008, which they exited in 2012. Both are members of the CFDA, and their brand celebrates friendship, creativity, authenticity and looking to the past for inspiration. The collection offers vintage-inspired everyday pieces with a tightly edited take on classic Americana, from The Boxy Crew tee and College Sweatshirt to sweatpants, denim, dresses, knitwear, The Car Coat and a Stetson collaboration. Production stays local, with 60-70% of each seasonal collection made in the USA, in Los Angeles. To keep clothes in closets rather than landfills, THE GREAT. cuts to order, producing only what has sold or will sell. Women make up 84% of its leadership team. Current and Elliott have also designed for Pottery Barn Teen and Pottery Barn Kids and written the book A Denim Story. THE GREAT. launched in over 200 retailers and now has nine stores, including West Hollywood and SoHo.

UK · Est. 2017 · Luxury

Cawley Studio is a British designer label for women, founded in London in 2017 by designer Hannah Cawley. The label was born out of Cawley's bedroom and holds the legacy of a family who create with their hands: she and her mum, Wendy, learnt to hand-smock together, using craft to bring time-honoured making practices into the present. That love of making by hand and a commitment to traditional British textile processes are central to the label. Cawley makes thoughtful, considered clothing in a light-filled South London studio. Its range includes shirts, dresses, trousers, skirts, jackets, coats, shearling and leather pieces, hats and bags, with pieces such as the Phoebe Shirt, the Barbara Pleated Trouser, the Erika Dress, the Ballet Skirt, the Agnes Mac, the Avis shearling jacket and the Bow Hat. Core shapes recur across collections, and it also offers bridal pieces. Every piece of clothing is hand-cut and made in England, using fine natural materials and working with skilled craftspeople who bring their own making traditions. Cawley Studio is independent and run by its founder, with studio appointments in South London and stockists across the USA, Europe and Asia.

Love And Swans

Turkey · Est. 2020 · Mid-range

Love & Swans is a luxury designer lingerie label for women based in Istanbul, founded in 2020 by Maria Lebedeva and Ivan. Maria left a finance career at PwC in 2019 after realising lingerie was her true passion, and Ivan, her husband and the brand's chief designer, sketches every collection. The name nods to Maria's surname, Lebedeva, meaning swan, and the label creates collectible lingerie built around conceptual beaded embroidery. Each set uses European mesh, Soft Touch elastic, Japanese glass beads and natural pearls, with OEKO-TEX certified Gunold embroidery thread and a pure cotton gusset. Collections tell stories inspired by Japanese legends, Latin American myths and the constellations, and the brand moved its headquarters from Armenia to Istanbul in 2022. Pieces are handmade in a small workshop by a team that is 95% female, with embroidery backed by a second layer of fabric so the beads never touch the skin. The brand produces small batches, offers custom and bespoke orders, and uses plastic-free, FSC paper packaging. Love & Swans exhibited at two CURVE trade shows in the United States in 2022 and has been featured by Esty Lingerie and The Voice.

After 20 years in fashion as a store owner, buyer and designer, Block started the brand after having a baby, wanting cute, interesting kids' clothes that were actually functional, and then wanting them for herself. The collection is influenced by utility, function, play and timelessness, with inspiration rooted in music, old movies, heritage nostalgia and classic Americana. Hey Gang began with coveralls and overalls for babies and children before adding women's coveralls, natural overalls, denim, trousers, tops and tees, and by 2021 women's wear made up 60% of its sales. Every piece is made in the USA, in Los Angeles, using sturdy fabrics such as Japanese and American denim and 100% cotton jersey. The fabrics and manufacturing facilities are ethically sourced, and customers can add a custom chainstitch, such as a name or a word, to any Hey Gang piece, a detail the brand suggests is even better as a gift.

La Fille d'O is a Belgian luxury designer lingerie label, founded in Ghent in 2003 by Murielle Henriette Victorine Scherre.

Lethal Cosmetics

Germany · Est. 2016 · Mid-range

Lethal Cosmetics is a Berlin-based colour brand that became Germany's first one hundred percent vegan makeup label, and it has spent since 2016 building a reputation for pigment that mainstream European brands do not attempt. Its own positioning is refreshingly unbothered: not for everyone, perfect for you. The range is built for people who treat makeup as a medium. Highly saturated pressed eyeshadows, multichromes, duochromes and pigments sit alongside a custom magnetic palette system that lets customers assemble their own configurations rather than buy fixed selections, cutting waste as well as cost. The brand describes its audience as creators, shapeshifters and storytellers, and the shade names and collections follow suit. Every product is vegan and PETA-certified, and the brand has received PETA's Progress Award for its work. Formulations are paraben-free, microplastic-free, GMO-free and gluten-free, and products are additionally halal certified through the World Halal Union, a credential few Western colour brands hold. The brand is transparent about what it has not yet solved, disclosing that some matte eyeshadows currently contain talc and committing publicly to becoming completely talc-free by the end of 2027. Ethical sourcing is specific: contract manufacturers must either belong to the Responsible Mica Initiative or verifiably source mica outside India. Packaging uses FSC-certified paper with minimised plastic, and carbon neutrality is a stated goal. The brand ships worldwide and restocks core shades continuously rather than treating them as limited editions. Designed in Berlin with production across the EU, and priced mid-range, Lethal is a serious option for vegan, paraben-free, ethical European beauty with customisable palettes.

Clionadh Cosmetics

Canada · Est. 2016 · Affordable

Clionadh Cosmetics is a Canadian indie makeup brand that has become the reference point for multichrome eyeshadow worldwide. Handmade in Toronto, Ontario by sisters Maggie and Leigh, it is a genuinely small operation producing colour that far larger brands have struggled to match. The catalogue is organised by finish rather than by trend: Jewelled, Hybrid, Dimensional, Glitter, Vibrant and Iridescent multichromes, each shifting through several distinct colours depending on angle and light. Alongside these sit highlighters, blush toppers, nail lacquer, brushes, cosmetic bags and empty magnetic palettes that let customers build custom collections from single pans. Despite the Irish name, taken from Irish mythology, this is a Canadian company through and through, and its Ontario Made certification confirms it. The brand is proudly vegan and cruelty-free, formulating without carmine, beeswax or any other animal byproduct, and its cruelty-free pledge covers testing at every stage, supplier practices and a refusal to sell into markets requiring animal testing. Formulas are talc-free and filler-free, and eyeshadows and highlighters are made without plastics or microplastics. Mica is sourced with supplier documentation to guard against child labour and exploitation, a step many larger brands still avoid. Pricing is remarkably accessible for the pigment involved, with most products between roughly eleven and thirty Canadian dollars, placing Clionadh firmly in the affordable tier. Empty palettes and single pans also make the range easy to build gradually rather than all at once. For shoppers seeking affordable, vegan, cruelty-free and ethically sourced makeup that is handmade and locally made by a women-owned independent, Clionadh offers colour you genuinely cannot buy elsewhere.

Arttitude Cosmetics

United Kingdom · Est. 2019 · Affordable

Arttitude Cosmetics is a British indie makeup brand making the case that colour should be loud again. Founded and independently owned by Ruks, who still works part-time as a scientist, the brand takes its name from her mother's makeup studio, Arttitude Studios, opened in 2009. That lineage shows in the products: this is makeup built by people who actually apply it. The range is deliberately bold. Magnetic customisable eyeshadow palettes sit at its heart, letting customers build their own combinations rather than buy a fixed selection, alongside highlighters, pressed powders, lip oils and brushes. The brand positions itself squarely against the pared-back clean girl aesthetic, promising colourful full glam and describing itself as unapologetic and creative. Its tagline, Where Artistry Meets Attitude, is an accurate summary. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free, backed by a published cruelty-free promise. Production remains genuinely small batch, with orders still packed by the founder and her family rather than a fulfilment warehouse, and the brand describes itself openly as tiny and still growing. Pricing puts professional-grade pigment within reach: individual items start under eight pounds, with palettes ranging from around thirty-five to forty-five pounds. That places Arttitude in the affordable tier while delivering payoff usually associated with far pricier brands. For anyone seeking affordable, vegan and cruelty-free UK beauty from a women-owned independent, with customisable palettes and colour that refuses to be subtle, Arttitude is one of Britain's most distinctive small brands.

Amy Jean

Australia · Est. 2004 · Mid-range

Amy Jean Brows is an Australian brow and lash specialist that built its reputation on treatments first and products second. Founded by Amy Jean, who has spent more than twenty years working as a brow artist, the business now operates studios across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, alongside an in-house academy training the next generation of technicians. What separates it from the broader Australian beauty market is a refusal to treat brows as one-size-fits-all. Every service, brow sculpting, lamination, cosmetic tattooing, lash extensions and laser removal, begins with an assessment of the individual face. That bespoke approach carries into the retail range through Brow ID, a personalisation tool that matches customers to the right pencil, gel, liner or lash essence rather than leaving them to guess. The product line stays tightly focused: brow gels and pencils, precision liners, lash essences, care masks and the professional tools the studios use themselves. Priced in the mid-range tier, it is positioned as an extension of the treatment experience rather than a standalone cosmetics range, which is why the formulas reward technique. As a women-owned business founded and led by its namesake, Amy Jean has attracted a client list including Rita Ora, Kylie Minogue and Delta Goodrem while remaining recognisably specialist. For anyone searching for custom, expert-led Australian beauty in a category dominated by generalists, it remains the country's best-known name in brows and lashes.

Alexis Lafont launched Caulaincourt in Paris in 2008 with a small collection of men’s dress shoes. The house has expanded into loafers, boots, slippers and sneakers, but its best-known feature remains the hand-applied patina: customers can choose a nuanced colour finish rather than being limited to a standard shade. Caulaincourt also offers made-to-order variations for more extensive personalisation. The shoes are made through specialist workshops in several European countries, including France, Italy and Spain; the place of manufacture depends on the model. Caulaincourt uses different construction methods for different shoes, from refined dress styles to more robust boots. Its services include resoling and recolouring, and it offers resoling for its B.A.N.D.I.T sneakers. The brand sells online and through Paris boutiques, including its Rue de Courcelles location. Fit can change between Caulaincourt models, so the house provides a model-based size guide rather than treating one size as universal across its collection.

DiVERGE says its sneakers are handcrafted to order in Portugal. Its current site highlights leather from LWG Gold-rated suppliers and OEKO-TEX-certified materials, though the composition should still be checked for each design. Making pairs after they are ordered is part of its approach to limiting overproduction. The company is also listed by B Lab as a Certified B Corporation. The official shop is the place to design and order a pair, with product pages explaining the customization choices, sizing and expected production period.

Conker also offers zero-rise and barefoot options within its range. The shoes use stitched-down construction and are designed so the workshop can resole and repair them after wear.

White Kloud

Japan · Est. 2005 · Mid-range

White Kloud is a Japanese custom boot workshop established by shoemaker Show Goto in 2005. Its central offering is a pair made for one customer by one craftsperson, who takes it through the stages from cutting the leather to attaching the sole. Customers seeking White Kloud bespoke boots should expect a workshop-led process rather than a standard selection of ready-to-wear sizes. Goto’s path to bootmaking included work with motorcycle boots, foot massage, shoemaking study and shoe repair. He says those experiences shaped his aim to make boots that are gentle on the feet. White Kloud combines the appearance of substantial leather boots with close attention to construction and individual fit; a visit to the workshop is part of its invitation to custom-order customers. The workshop is in Koshigaya, Saitama, outside central Tokyo. Its website also presents Jack & White Brothers, a separate, small-production boot line made with specialist Japanese craftspeople and offered through the online store.

About custom brands

Ordering Made-to-Order Pieces

Custom work depends on clear communication, so start by checking exactly what can be changed, whether that is measurements, fabrics, metals, stones, engraving or fit adjustments. Ask how long production takes and plan ahead for weddings or gifts, as handmade or made-to-measure items can take several weeks. Read returns policies carefully, because personalised pieces are often non-refundable once work begins. For clothing, measure yourself carefully using the brand's guide. For jewellery, confirm ring sizes and the exact spelling of engravings before you approve the order. Keeping a copy of the agreed details, including any sketches or photos, avoids confusion later.

Why Custom Brands Feel Different

Buying from custom brands turns shopping into a collaboration. Instead of choosing from whatever happens to be in stock, you help shape a piece around your body, your style or a moment that matters to you. Because items are usually made only when ordered, there is less unsold stock and waste, and makers can focus on doing each piece well. The result is something that fits properly, carries personal meaning and is far more likely to be kept and treasured for years, rather than replaced at the end of a season.

Frequently asked questions

What is a custom brand?
A custom brand makes pieces to your specifications rather than selling only ready-made stock. That could mean made-to-measure clothing, jewellery designed around your chosen stone, or shoes built to your size. Some brands offer full bespoke design, while others let you personalise set styles with details such as colours or engraving.
What's the difference between custom, made-to-order and bespoke?
Made-to-order means a standard design is produced once you've placed an order. Custom usually adds choices, such as size, fabric or finish. Bespoke goes furthest, with a piece designed and fitted around you from scratch. Brands use the terms a little differently, so check exactly what's included.
How long does a custom order usually take?
It varies a lot by product and maker. A personalised engraving might be quick, while a made-to-measure suit or a custom engagement ring can take considerably longer. Ask for an estimated timeline before you commit, and leave extra time for weddings, birthdays and other fixed dates.
Can I return a custom or personalised item?
Often not, because the piece was made specifically for you. Some brands offer alterations, remakes or adjustments if something doesn't fit, so it's worth reading the policy carefully before you order. Getting measurements and details right at the start is the best protection against disappointment.
Is custom more expensive than buying off the rack?
Usually it costs more, as each piece takes individual time and skill. That said, prices range widely, and simple personalisation can be quite accessible. Because a custom piece fits properly and means something to you, it's often worn and kept far longer, which helps balance the cost.
Who are the makers on this page, and how do they get listed?
They're homegrown and emerging labels that register with From The Labels and describe their made-to-order or personalised services. The platform exists because big names crowd out smaller makers in search. Investor backing is fine, but any brand acquired by a large corporation no longer qualifies. Each label in this list of custom brands sets its own options and lead times.
What should I prepare before contacting a custom maker?
Have a clear idea of what you want, including reference photos, your budget, any deadline and accurate measurements or sizes. Being upfront about these helps a maker tell you quickly what's possible. Comparing a few makers from a list of custom brands before committing also gives you a feel for each one's style and process.
