GEEL

USA · Est. 2020 · Mid-range

GEEL is a minimalist American clothing label for women, founded in Los Angeles in 2020 by Irene Geel. During the pandemic, while clearing out years of uncomfortable wear-once pieces, Geel noticed she kept only her understated, classic basics, yet struggled to find loungewear that matched her style. A former handbag designer, she bought her first roll of deadstock modal and launched a small capsule of soft tops and bodysuits. The label began with cut-and-sew knits in that same modal, which became its core collection, and has since grown into wovens, sweaters, outerwear and swimwear. The range now includes tops, bodysuits, skirts, dresses, capris, shorts and soft knitwear, all designed in Los Angeles as seasonless, elevated basics for everyday wear. GEEL works with ethical, sustainable manufacturers and produces in limited batches to minimise waste and prevent overproduction. Every piece is wear-tested during production, with the aim of creating comfortable, versatile clothes that can be worn alone or layered and still feel right a year later. GEEL has been featured by Wonderland and Hypebae, which covered its Summer campaign and capsule with Cierra O'Day, and has a following in both Los Angeles and New York.

Jess Meany

USA · Est. 2019 · Mid-range

Jess Meany is an American upcycled designer clothing label for women, founded in Los Angeles in 2019 by Jess Meany. Meany started the brand after a 12-year career in textile development left her dreaming about how to love the materials that already exist on the planet. Her designs present layers of loved textiles with femme feelings, inspired by the dust of the West, the keepsake heritage of America and the picnics and pastimes of spring and summer. The collection features loosely tailored, low-impact pieces such as quilt coats, cropped coats, Laguna shirts, Olivia jackets, tops and skirts. Every piece is handmade in the USA, designed and sewn in the brand's Los Angeles studio. Most pieces are one-of-a-kind or limited, because Meany searches across the country for deadstock, vintage, obsolete and forgotten materials, from quilts and redwork embroidery to lace and organza. This upcycled, locally made approach keeps production small and sustainable. Jess Meany has been featured by Voyage LA and Sheesh Magazine, and the label is sold through Garmentory.

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.

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.

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.
