One from my hometown... Kestin has been around for a lil bit (founded 2015 I think?) but I don't see mentioned often! He was former head of design at Nigel Cabourn, now does a lot of nice simple pieces with influences from scottish heritage and cool fabrics and stuff

tun🌻•3/8/24, 5:21 PM

A lot of nice basics and cool textiles https://www.instagram.com/kestin.co?igsh=MWtsNHRmMDd3NXk4cA==

i'm a fan of diop from detroit - beautiful prints, lots of nice loungewear that can easily be repurposed into outerwear. they have a fairly lengthy section on where they and the prospect consumer fits in the spectrum of "appropriation vs appreciation" which i think is admirable now that people are more willing to have that conversation
