What’s your favourite independent brand to treat yourself? Xmas special

[NeedToKnow101]

I thought I’d start a thread to share our favourite independent brands and designers so we can treat ourselves or our loved ones for Xmas (or whenever we like 😊) to some gorgeous jewellery, clothes or accessories ❤️

I’ll start! My favourite independent for gold and silver jewellery is Louise Wade https://www.louisewade.com/. I love her eclectic style.

The thing is, ‘independent’ generally means small, with limited stock …

I’m just not that generous.

https://twothreads.com.au. They deliver overseas. Everything is well-made, though some of the stuff is "not for me", my way of saying of saying bloody dreadful.

I don't need new clothes. I can't believe I just wrote that.

Wow, it's the first time I've heard of it. I happened to want to buy some jewelry, so I'll go and have a look

It’s not an ad. I just thought it would be a nice thread to share shops and businesses we like, and I chose one I like. There’s hundreds of threads mentioning brands with links. Do you have a fashion brand you’d like to share?

Deaf Metal. My audiologist was very impressed by my very cool sterling silver ear clips designed to be worn with hearing aids (and keep them in place). Not cheap, by any means, but they're a great little company.

That’s so cool. It almost makes me wish I needed hearing aids.
