Kota Gushiken (formerly at CSM and Dior Couture) has a fantastic knitwear-oriented brand
I think I plugged the Girl With The Pearl Earring sweater with 3D earring in here recently
And pretty affordable (ish) still at this point in time
4S Designs
The earring is knit in 3D and hangs off the sweater
Been following AndSon for a while and they recently started stocking clothes, https://shopandson.com/. Like their vibes
Together store also seems pretty cool, heard good things about them. https://www.together-store.com/
As for brands, Margn I really like, fun knits and shirt https://www.instagram.com/margnworld/

Remember seeing that! Such a nice detail
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
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
