on the more expensive side but you're getting really high quality, well designed pieces! sizing runs a little small in my experience

my tips for finding unique brands like these

✯ patience is key! you're going to have to do a lot of digging on places like depop (search for handmade, handprinted etc.)

✯omg ok sometimes I look through the following lists of cool creators on Instagram and find brands like that

✯check out brands you stumble across on social media (do ur due diligence to deem if they seem reliable, if they're actually drop shipping etc)

✯accept that things wont be as cheap as fast fashion brands, but its worth to pay for something you'll love for a long time that is well made and sustainable
