Le Bon Shoppe

USA · Est. 2017 · Affordable

Le Bon Shoppe is an American minimalist basics label, founded in Los Angeles in 2017 by a pair of old friends who met while working in the fashion industry. The brand was conceived over good food and conversation in a small apartment in the Arts District, and its founders choose to stay out of the spotlight and let the products speak. The name means "The Good Shop", and the aim is simple everyday pieces that are easy to wear but hard to find, in fresh colours and non-seasonal designs. Le Bon Shoppe is best known for its socks, including Her Socks, Girlfriend Socks, Boyfriend Socks, Cloud Socks and Sneaker Socks in a wide range of colours. It also makes tees such as the Vintage Boy Tee and Naturelle Tee, tops, parachute pants, mohair sweaters, alpaca cardigans, dresses and shawls. Most socks and many garments are made in South Korea, with some tees made in Los Angeles from organic cotton and a few pieces made in China. The brand produces small, limited runs calculated so it can sell everything before making more, so it carries no overstock. It sells online and through stockists.

The Slow Label

Austria · Est. 2019 · Mid-range

The Slow Label is a European sustainable, minimalist clothing label for women, founded in Vienna in 2019 by Anna Laura Amenta. Amenta set out to build a capsule wardrobe of timeless, high-quality basics designed to be worn for years, deliberately stepping away from the constant cycle of new releases in favour of enduring pieces that transcend trends. The range covers tees, tanks, knitwear, trousers, skirts, dresses, blazers, coats and swimwear, with signature pieces such as the Crewneck Jumper, Pleated Wool Pants, Classic Linen Blazer and Trench Coat LENA. Most garments are made in Portugal and Italy by small, specialised and often family-run manufacturers, from traditional weaving mills and knitting factories to tailoring workshops, with some pieces made in India. Materials are chosen for longevity and lower impact, favouring organic, recycled and natural fibres. Where possible garments are made from a single fibre to ease recycling, stretch comes from Cradle to Cradle Certified Roica V550, and wool is always mulesing-free and sourced from mills certified to standards such as RWS, GOTS or IVN. The Slow Label is an independent, female-founded company that grows organically and publishes details of its supply chain on its website.

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.

China · Est. 2007 · Luxury

Norlha is a sustainable luxury clothing and textile label, founded in 2007 by Kim Yeshi and her daughter Dechen Yeshi in Ritoma, a nomadic village 3,200 metres up on the Tibetan Plateau. Kim, an anthropologist who spent decades researching textiles in Asia, formulated the concept, while Dechen, who first travelled to the plateau in 2005 to research the region, established the Norlha Atelier. The name means "wealth of the gods". Norlha makes scarves and shawls such as the Pilgrimage Scarf, felt vests, shawl coats, Tibetan shirts, knitwear, children's clothing, blankets and bed covers. Every piece is made by hand at its atelier on the plateau, where around 100 artisans, mostly local nomads and 65% women, spin, weave and felt. The brand works mainly with yak khullu, the soft down yaks grow for winter, which is cashmere-soft and warmer than sheep's wool, sometimes blended with silk. It uses flying shuttle looms, low-impact processes and natural, undyed colours. Norlha is a certified B Corp. It has worked with Hermès, is stocked by Dover Street Market and has been featured by Vogue, The World of Interiors and WSJ, with stores in Ritoma, Lhasa and Beijing.

Proto-Types

Switzerland · Est. 2021 · Luxury

PROTOtypes is an upcycled, gender-neutral European designer clothing label, founded in Zurich in 2021 by Laura Beham and Callum Pidgeon. The two met while sharing a desk at Vetements: Beham, originally from Germany, joined the Vetements team in Paris at a young age, while Pidgeon, from the UK, studied menswear at University of the Arts London and also worked for Martine Rose. They launched the label to challenge how fashion is produced and consumed, regenerating material that already exists in abundance. The ready-to-wear collections include jackets, tops, trousers, dresses, knitwear and hoodies cut from deadstock fabric, decommissioned uniforms, vintage garments, football scarves and household textiles, and are made in Switzerland. Series 06 reworked late-1990s and early-2000s football kits into corsets, joggers and padded hoodies as a tribute to the sport's working-class roots. Inspired by Duchamp's readymades, the designers want each garment's origin to stay visible. Their Proto Packs offer manuals and sewing patterns so anyone can recreate Second Life styles at home, such as turning two old sweatpants into a hoodie. PROTOtypes received a Swiss Design Award for fashion and textile design in 2024 and has been profiled by Highsnobiety and PAPER Magazine.
