What are some of your favourite independent fashion brands ? Bonus points if they are size inclusive, and have a bit of a romantic or boho style

I am obsessed with Under Prairie Moon , but I now have every dress they've made.
I'm not joking, I got a new dress from there yesterday and am in love, but can't so long for a new one to be released.

Not looking for high street like Monsoon etc, something with a real person/people behind it.

Anyone have any hidden gems they can recommend ?

Just bumping this in case anyone has any suggestions.
Been trawling Free People and found a really interesting independent brand on there called Magnolia Pearl, has anyone bought from them ?
Some really interesting and unique pieces, quite a high price point - worth it ?

Possibly you’ve had no responses because no one really knows what ‘independent’ means, or how to keep abreast of which exciting emerging brand was bought up - yesterday by one of the handful of global companies that seem to own everything.

Look up The Redirectory on instagram. She’s all about small (female-led) independent brands

That's true!
It does feel like there aren't as many independents now, you just have to look at most UK high streets and you can see it's all just franchised big company outlets !

Palava and Colenimo are, as far as I'm aware, truly independent and ethical.

I wanted to add a brand on here, handmade in the UK, I bought some bloomers last week after finding them on a directory posted here. They are so quirky and interesting.

Brand is called Calm Amongst The Chaos quite different to Under Prairie Moon, but more versatile as it's not just summer stuff.

Thanks for everyones suggestions - I ordered from Colenimo as suggested, waiting for it all to arrive !
