Sønderhaus is an ethical, minimalist American clothing label for women, founded in American Fork, Utah in 2022 by Olive Redd. Described as a slow fashion studio rooted in heritage, family and craftsmanship, the brand is run by three sisters and their best friend. Its designs draw on vintage silhouettes, Scandinavian heritage and lakeside summers in the Midwest, reflecting the values of kinship, simplicity and connection the founders were raised on. The collection covers dresses, sweaters, cardigans, tops, T-shirts, trousers, jeans, skirts, shorts, matching sets, sleepwear and swimwear, designed in Utah for everyday wear. Garments are produced in small batches with partner factories mainly in Turkey, China and Vietnam, along with India, and the shop also carries accessories from other small makers. Sønderhaus prioritises natural fibres such as cotton, linen and wool that can be recycled or composted, using only recycled synthetics when a garment's construction requires them. Every factory is vetted by its third-party partner Calico through self-assessments and regular quality checks.

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.
