1. Léze The Label
For an elevated WFH wardrobe that feels like PJs but looks boardroom-ready, there’s truly no better brand than Léze the Label. Founded by Tanya and Karen Lee, this Vancouver-based duo proudly produces tailored sweatshirts and matching skirts (oh, and Oprah's favorite trousers) in China. The brand strives to debunk the myth that “Made in China” means you’re getting something of lesser quality. Trust us, once you get your hands on their plush, sustainable garb, you’ll understand that couldn't be further from the truth.

2. Sundae School
Here’s a brand that will impress even your coolest niece or nephew (or, you know, your entire TikTok following). Sundae School co-founders and lifelong friends, Dae Lim and Mia Park, were born in South Korea and emigrated to the United States as teens. The pair met at boarding school, where they bonded while smoking weed together. Since 2019, they’ve created a full-fledged 4/20-friendly brand they refer to as “smokewear,” though you don’t have to light up to wear it. Plus, the brand donates a percentage of their sales to BIPOC-owned companies—from flower businesses to garment factories.

3. Sandy Liang
Sorry Patagonia, but fleece jackets weren’t cool before Sandy Liang put her touch on them. This New York-based brand took the winter piece she hated wearing as a kid and transformed it into a major fashion moment in the mid-2010s. And the craze still carries on today—as do the unexpected designs for warmer seasons. Liang also makes dresses, tees and shoes with the same cheeky charm. Prefer a retro floral print skirt? That’s available. Or want to jump into the balletcore aesthetic? You got it.

4. PerfectDD
Founder Alice Kim started PerfectDD (pronounced “perfected”) to solve an issue she was facing: She couldn’t find clothes that fit her DD chest and size zero frame. This prompted Kim to launch a sustainable brand that would fit her body type—including a trendy dress shirt that didn't strain at the buttons, a stylish tulip sleeve blouse that works for any occasion and muscle tees that don’t look sloppy. Sizes ranges from size XS to 3X, so everyone can rock a style or two (which explains why celebs like Jenna Fischer, Lindsay Price and Lana Condor are fans).

6. Ziran
In 2016, Kelly Wang Shanahan launched Ziran with the purpose of merging ancient Chinese techniques, luxury fashion and sustainability together. Per their site, they are known for being the first and only brand to use xiang yun sha silk, which translates to "perfumed clothed clothing" and has been a staple in China for over 500 years. Whether you buy their butterfly reversible facemask or their ruched slip dress, every item goes through a vigorous process that involves dying the fabric using shu liang (a Chinese yam) and washing it in the Pearl River. The site adds, "We believe it's our duty to honor and preserve this tradition for the next generation. This is the Ziran way."

7. Abacaxi
Inspired by her childhood visits to India, founder Sheena Sood used her love and curiosity of South Asian craft and design to launch Abacaxi. "I got to see how custom garments were made," Sood told The Cut about her trips to the country. "Unlike where I grew up in the Midwest, people would go and buy their fabric, take it to the embroider, then the beader and then the tailor. [I saw the] richness of the fabrics. The way people dress with color in such a different way." She blended her four loves—travel, textiles, color and pattern—to create her own bold pieces. In 2020, she introduced her first collection "Fruit Nostalgia," which was inspired by the fruits she had in India, while her latest collection pays homage to nature, specifically water, highlighting its impact on our mind, body and nervous system.

Plus, for every every pair you purchase, a percentage goes to Room at Read, a non-profit organization that's dedicated to children's education across Asia and Africa.

22. Kinn Studio
Here's your sign to splurge on some new jewelry this month. Kinn Studio offers luxurious, one-of-a-kind pieces that are timeless. After her parents were robbed of all their antique jewelry, CEO Jennie Yoon decided to create a brand of modern heirlooms that not only add to your style, but also withstand the test of time. Since 2017, Kinn Studio has been doing exactly this, while using recycled metals and stones to create stunning rings, earrings and necklaces, to name a few. (Our Beauty Director Jenny Jin is a fan of their personalized nameplates because you can get them customized in your Korean, Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese name.)

23. Kreya
This South Asian and Sikh-owned business started out as a necessity for busy New Yorkers, who are always on the go. Kreya wanted to eliminate bulky bags, so they developed the Aurora Backpack Tote to help commuters navigate the bustling city without weighing them down. All products are crafted in leather and pay homage to South Asian culture through traditional "shadow work" techniques straight from West Bengal, India. Each bag is functional and stylish, able to transition seamlessly from work to social plans.
