14 Fashion Items To Shop From Women-Owned Brands

Here's how to do International Women's Day.
14 Fashion Items To Shop From Women-Owned Brands
By Jamila Stewart · Updated March 18, 2022

How do you celebrate your International Women’s Day? Is it by gathering with the like minded-women around you for a brunch? By surprising your loved ones and friends with thoughtful treats? Or by ducking off to a quiet staycation for one? If it’s by doing a bit of arguably harmless online shopping, then you’re in luck, because we’ve rounded up a handful of women-owned brands you can support along the way.

It’s no secret that, within the fashion industry and many others, huge conglomerates are often operated by men. While they’ve long held the attention of the majority, we’ve finally turned a corner toward championing smaller designers, which oftentimes mean brands that are women-owned, POC-owned, or both. From cult-favorite brands such as Sami Miro Vintage, to emerging basics purveyors such as Re Ona, and super under-the-radar finds like O’Dolly Dearest, once you’ve found these gems, there’s no looking back. Ahead, here’s 14 products to shop to treat yourself this International Women’s Day, and support the brand’s that deserve it while you’re at it.
