The Sunday List
20 items from independent designers that I think you'll love as much as me.
Today’s Sunday List is all about celebrating those independent designers that sometimes go under the radar. Instagram is a brilliant place for discovering new and exciting designers and brands and I want to introduce a few to you that I have been coveting lately.
Unfortunately being an independent usually means pricier products due to smaller batches, better quality materials and details. However it is always good to seek out those smaller brands and if there’s anything I want I keep a log and look out for anything that goes in sale.
So, here’s 20 smaller brands that I love. The first 10 are for all subscribers and then the next 10 are for paid subscribers only.
