HIGH QUALITY SHOPS I RECOMMEND:
NOT PERFECT LINEN (family-run, sustainable linen, ETSY)
BRORA (cashmere, wool)
JIGSAW (fine soft cashmere)
JOHN SMEDLEY (premium knitwear)
BODA SKINS (premium leather, viscose lining)
GUNDA HAFNER (UK made, wool, silk, linen, cotton)
SANVT (premium cotton, wool)
ASKET organic cotton basics, recycled wool,
ARMED ANGELS (organic, sustainable, ethical basics with a twist),
PEOPLE TREE (sustainable, organic, ethical – however to me clothes are too classic and generic),
LILYSILK (I especially recommend wool trousers, silk)
PATRIZIA ARYTON (COATS. could be only in Poland, but if you have a chance to shop there it’s a cheaper, but same quality as Max Mara)
OFFICINE GENERALE (tailoring, knitwear)
BAGS
CHYLAK (of course!!)
SONGMONT (haven’t been disappointed with a quality of my 2 bags, leather+silk lining)
