Maggie Marilyn is a New Zealand based sustainable clothing brand that is focused on organic and recycled materials, ethical factories and charity work and giving back to the community.  This brand creates bespoke wedding gowns and focuses on timeless pieces and simple basics in order for them to last the customers a long time. In doing so, this means that each item can be styled and worn with several different outfits and due to having used high quality materials, they will last customers much longer than fast fashion items. 

TDS or TheDesignStudio, are a mother and daughter who create bespoke jackets. They create these jackets by using the deadstock or recycled materials in order to reduce the amount of stock ending up in landfill. Based in North Wales, this mother daughter duo create every jacket one-of-a-kind and so every piece is unique and individual.

Kitty Joyas is a bespoke jewellery brand based in London focused on using recycled and fair mined. In order to avoid waste, each piece is made to order or made in small batches. The timeless pieces as well as each bespoke piece means that customers are able to enjoy their pieces for years and years. The bespoke pieces means that each piece is individual to the customer. 

The Slow Label, founded in Vienna in 2019, was created with the aim of making clothing that exists beyond fast-changing trends. The collection is deliberately kept small, reducing overproduction while ensuring each piece stays timeless rather than seasonal. Transparency sits at the heart of the brand, with clear insight into materials, pricing, and production processes so customers know exactly what they are purchasing. Every garment is thoughtfully made to endure in both craftsmanship and style.
