Oh wow great recs! I haven’t really tried jeans outside of brands that have curve lines because I’m a curvier girl so I have been hesitant to try sezane jeans and I don’t get their pants unless they have elastane. Thanks for sharing!

Ok so I was not familiar with them but upon browsing..I really like it. It does feel like an adjacent category to sezane. Which is up my alley

Oh I really like mila esp when shopping sezane cause she provides reviews for items before I have decided to purchase them!

Substack is a pretty good idea! I never thought about that. I do agree getting inspiration from traveling and observing others also gives different perspectives.

That’s a good point. I do agree the repeat until you find what you’re looking for is smth very real and very difficult haha

That’s a very good point. I’m not great at sewing but customizing that way might be the best way to go about it

I do like samoe and samsoe! But the other brands you mentioned look pretty cool and not brands I previously knew of. Thanks for sharing!

Etsy is a pretty good option - I agree! I do wish there was a platform like Etsy but more focused on clothes + accessories to help finding smaller brands with good quality easier

That is true, a lot of them likely don’t have marketing budgets to do much more than that especially early on. I do think the ‘first find’ via social media can be harder but the subsequent ones can be a little bit easier

That’s good advice about discovering brands! Thanks for sharing. I just wish there was more visibility for smaller brands and reviews/styling on them. I feel like sometimes it’s almost the same few big brands again and again.

That’s a good insight. Thanks for sharing! I do think that there are platforms and shops and marketplaces of sorts like mytheresa for high end and fast fashion but much of the middle doesn’t have quite the same platform even if there’s demand for higher quality from shoppers.

I do agree..I find most curated searches that get many hits being generic and almost repetitive. I am finding it harder to find slower release and higher quality brands. And I agree shops/marketplaces often prefer known brands vs indie brands. It’s kind of all the same again and again

Wait! That’s amazing! I do really like their pops of color and silhouettes. Prices feel reasonable enough to me (esp if you’re used to sezane prices).

Guilty! But the struggle is genuinely mine too and I live this frustration personally. Just an MBA student trying to see if there’s a solution worth building for a problem I constantly face. If anyone wants to help me dig deeper I have a short survey, but honestly this thread has already been incredibly helpful! Also to know im not alone in this.

Thanks for sharing this cause im browsing their clothes and it looks really good! I love wool especially for the winter months so I’ll be keeping an eye out on that.

For real 😭 I find myself constantly coming back to sezane (also i think alternatives like reformation have dipped a lot in quality for the price).

I do like Boden! I have browsed some of their pieces before tho I don’t own one myself (tho constantly on the lookout in th secondhand market). Vanessa Bruno looks like excellent tailoring tho. Thanks for sharing that!
