SELVA NEGRA was founded in 2016 by Kristen Gonzalez and Sam Romero and is based in Los Angeles. Their ethically produced designs are influenced by their Latina and Filipina heritage. Check out their shop here.

One of my favorite footwear brands Zou Xou Shoes comes from New York and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Founder and designer KatherineI Theobalds designs shoes that “make women feel like the best version of themselves”, and they really do! I have three colors in the Eugenia flat pictured above.

Previously working in sustainable and ethical fashion, Jina Kim, the Korean CEO and founder of clean beauty brand Circumference NYC, decided to focus the same energy to fuel systemic change in the beauty industry, creating natural skincare ethically and inclusively.

Heidi Baker of OZMA of California bases her designs on a philosophy of less is more and it comes through in her beautiful designs and the materials she works with from sustainable textiles like raw silk and washed linen. Each piece is easily paired together with neutral colors that look all go together and designs that serve multiple functions like her silk (washable!) bandanas.

Stella Simona and Ali Heiss founded Amarilo Jewelry in 2011 on a minimalist philosophy that focuses on longevity and simplicity in their pieces. Their thoughtfully designed and crafted jewelry is easy to wear on its own or layered with other pieces from their line.
