While’s it’s the month to celebrate women all over the globe, we believe every day is a good day to support women entrepreneurs. Even in such a female-centric industry as fashion, men have somehow made the dominant mark for generations. Which is why, when a woman starts a brand, it usually involves a journey of struggles, milestones, and a lot of broken barriers.
Let’s face it though, women make it very easy for us to fall in love with their creations. They know what we truly want, they believe in empowering more women, handcrafts and genuinely help in strengthening our stance in this still so patriarchal world.
Here is a list of fabulous women-led labels that have our hearts and will transform you inside and out!
