Brands I love

These are just a few of the brands that inspire me that I genuinely love and use in my own life. What connects them is a sense of care — for the earth, for craft, and for the people who make what we wear and live with. I’m sharing them here to celebrate their creativity and the beautiful work and offerings they bring into the world.

This California brand is rooted in simplicity, softness and intention, making everyday essentials feel like a deep breath, understated, elevated, and made to move with you. Their pieces are designed for ease and longevity, with natural fabrics that feel like a second skin.

Effortless and intentional, Almada Label crafts refined essentials for a modern, seasonless wardrobe. Designed in Helsinki and made with care across Europe and Mongolia, each piece embodies quiet luxury—timeless, minimal, and consciously made. This is elevated dressing for those who seek simplicity with depth and style that endures beyond trends.

Lauren Manoogian

A deeply tactile brand where minimalism meets material intimacy. Lauren Manoogian’s collections are quiet meditations in fiber — organic, sculptural, and soulfully imperfect. Designed with reverence for natural textures and handmade tradition, her work carries the presence of the maker, inviting slowness and touch. Woven between Peru and New York, each piece feels like a whisper of something ancient made modern.

A tender meeting of earth and garment. These ethereal silks are steeped in plant-dyed color and ceremonial care — an alchemical blend of ritual, nature, and craftsmanship. Each piece is soft, sensual, and intentional — designed to be lived in, to move with you, to hold you in quiet beauty. Made in Bali with blessed botanicals and local hands, these garments invite you to drape yourself in something sacred.

Johanna Ortiz

Crafted in Colombia, Johanna Ortiz designs are rich in soul and rooted in community. Each piece reflects the artistry of her Cali-based atelier, where over 90% of production happens in-house by a predominantly women-led team. With intricate detailing and handwork, her garments carry the touch of human hands and the strength of cultural heritage. The brand weaves beauty, intention, and impact—uplifting local artisans while honoring slow creation.

Moona Star

Found in the wild beauty of Topanga Canyon, Moona Star is more than a shop — it’s a sanctuary. Part gathering space, part creative haven, this soulful lifestyle brand brings together handmade treasures, conscious design, and a community of women rooted in spirit and collaboration. From clothing to ritual objects, everything is curated with reverence for nature, artistry, and the cycles of life. Guided by heart and harmony, Moona Star invites you into a slower, more intentional way of being.

Wilderhouse

Rooted in intention, Wilderhouse curates a thoughtful collection of clothing, apothecary, and home goods with an eye for simplicity, origin, and beauty. What began as a desire to know where things come from has grown into a deeper devotion—to transparency, to small-batch craftsmanship, and to the stories behind what we live with every day. Alongside other conscious makers, Wilderhouse also crafts its own line of in-house essentials, blending plant-based ingredients with timeless care. It’s a space that honors quiet luxury, earth connection, and everyday ritual.

Activist Manuka

Grounded, pure, and deeply nourishing. ACTIVIST’s Mānuka honey feels like a gift from the earth — wild, potent, and unpretentious. Their reverence for nature and slow living shows in everything they do. It’s not just honey, it’s a ritual.

Monastery

Skincare that feels sacred. Created by master esthetician Athena Hewett, every formula is made with botanicals that heal and nourish. The rose cleansing oil is my favorite — grounding, soft, and deeply restorative.

RITUEL

Tucked into the hills, RITUEL is more than a gathering space — it’s a place to land, reflect, and be held by the rhythms of nature. Whether you’re marking a milestone or simply craving stillness with your people, this sanctuary invites deep presence. Alongside their beautiful retreat setting, RITUEL offers an intentional collection of ritual goods — bath salts, shower steamers, and aromatic offerings crafted to anchor you in the here and now. Each item is a gentle invitation to slow down and remember yourself. Rooted in beauty and care, RITUEL honors both the inner and outer ceremony of living well.

Caroline Francis

A moment to be

I believe in the quiet power of pause — the way one small ritual, like lighting a candle, can invite you back to yourself. In a world that moves fast, I value the slow, intentional moments that allow beauty to surface and presence to return. This is about more than ambiance — it’s about remembering who you are, what matters, and finding light in the simplest of things.

AGNES BADDOO

Crafted in Los Angeles, Agnes Baddoo’s handmade leather goods are quiet statements of functional beauty and timeless companions. Each piece, from her signature Belt Sac to classic totes, is designed with enduring simplicity and soul. I especially love the Belt Sac — every time I wear it, it elevates my outfit without trying too hard. These pieces carry a quiet confidence, designed to be worn often and kept close.

Feral Future

A return to your primal roots — in body, in rhythm, in nourishment. Feral Future offers wild-foraged, consciously prepared meals alongside pathways to deeper embodiment and sovereign living. Their offerings are grounded in ancestral foods and inner alchemy, reminding us that how we eat, feel, and lead are all intimately connected.

Kami Speer

Kami Speer is a healing couturier whose garments are portals — made with intention, spirit, and deep connection to the earth. Her pieces are infused with plant dyes, flower essences, and natural fibers, carrying the energy of protection and presence. Each one is a remembrance — of beauty made with care, of clothing as ceremony, of a time when what we wore held meaning. Rooted in nature and guided by intuition, Kami’s work honors the sacred act of getting dressed as a return to essence.
