FIVE INDEPENDENT BRITISH BRANDS YOU CAN SUPPORT ONLINE

Posted on by Cameron Tewson

It was one week today, the British government issued strict guidelines for all non-essential stores to be closed for at least three weeks leaving a lot of brands and business owners in limbo. While it’s difficult to gauge the impact and what exactly COVID-19 will do to the economy, small businesses and independent brands alike, one thing we know – they are likely to struggle. I’ve added together 5 of my favourite British brands you should note, support and follow in tough times. You can also support independent stores such as Psyche Fashion, Wolf & Badger and others via ELLE.com/uk 

I am keen to hear from other brands alike, locally and globally – please e-mail me directly: [email protected]

HONNA Sleepwear

British sleepwear brand, HONNA was founded by stylist, Barbara McMillan who could not find a classic striped pyjama set that walked the line between exceptional fit and an affordable price point, so she decided to make one. The brand consists of a collection of striped cotton pyjamas in seven colourways, from a female-founded company. All of the sets are made in a family-run factory who only use trusted suppliers. The fabric dyes are carefully selected to ensure the best – and safest – result.
