Five Small Business Fashion Brands to Watch

We’re giving you a leg up on your festival fashion game with these five inspiring and unique fashion brands!

As many in the scene look to shine a light on small fashion brands and give them the recognition they deserve, we dug into our own to shine a spotlight on! These independent businesses have been putting in work, making a name for themselves in fashion world and we want to highlight their sensational styles. From cool and sporty to ethereal and earthy, this list of far out fashion brands are sure to spark your inspiration.

For years we’ve seen the collective pull from fast-fashion and unethical brands who provide often affordable, but imitable and often low quality work. Instead, there has been a push for the collective support of unique small businesses to provide beautiful and high-quality pieces of art at a similar price point.

Supporting small business not only provides coveted fashion, it means you’re supporting ethical production while stimulating and promoting an amazing network of artists. So get ready to make the wishlist of your dreams and keep scrolling to see our favorite small business brands!
