How a label is listed
Read the methodology →A label needs at least two of six published criteria. Everything we state has a source and a “last verified” date; every profile says whether we visited, purchased or sourced.
- Design-led: a founder or small team drives the aesthetic
- Independent or small-group ownership
- A distinct design point of view in the current collection
- Observable craft, material or construction specificity
- Press or stockist credibility
- A sustainability or ethical claim backed by concrete practice
