Madmatter Studio – Everyday Pieces With A Utility Edge
A little bit of a modern fairytale here: Madmatter began with two thrift-obsessed founders, Tap and Jazz, who loved scouring second-hand markets and couldn’t ignore the mountains of surplus fabric Thailand produces – so they flipped the script. What began as upcycled bags and hats is now a head-to-toe label with a fresh logo and attitude: everyday pieces cut from studio-selected deadstock and leftover rolls that deserve a life beyond the factory floor. Honesty sits at the core – if it’s recycled, they’ll tell you; if it isn’t, they’ll tell you that too. Materials are sourced locally where possible, fair labour is a given, and longevity leads the design – quality in the cut and make so that this isn’t fast fashion destined for the bin. Expect wearable drops that slot into real life – easy jackets, utility-lean trousers, throw-on tops, and carry-everywhere bags.
Sasi Knits – Home Studio, Hand-Knit
This Bangkok-based label needs little introduction in Thailand’s indie scene. Sasi Knits – tagline: ‘your knits with a twist’ – was born in a home studio, where Sasi and her small team hand-knit and sew every piece. The result is personal, tactile, and proudly Thai: yarns and trims come from Chiang Mai, Surin, and Lamphun, then meet select textured fibres from abroad to push colour and pattern in new directions. On sustainability, Sasi keeps it small and close to home – limited runs, made by hand, and a supply chain that supports local makers and materials. The brand is open about process and intent: using design to carry Thai craft further and spotlight regional workmanship on a global stage. On the rails, there’s playful texture and off-beat details – sculpted rib, unexpected colour play, and silhouettes made to be worn on repeat.
Metiseko – Story-Driven Prints
Metiseko is the Vietnam-rooted label that makes dressing feel special again. Think airy mulberry-silk shirtdresses, bias-cut skirts that skim, scarf-style tops, and easy separates in prints inspired by coastlines, highlands and folk motifs. Everything is made close to home and made to last – locally produced 100% mulberry silk dyed and hand screen-printed with non-toxic colour by Vietnamese craftspeople; GOTS-certified organic cotton received in greige, then dyed and printed near Saigon with reactive dyes to keep water clear. Patterns are cut and refit by hand, and each piece is sewn end-to-end by a single tailor – you’ll find their name on your label. Small batch, transparent, and timeless – plus printed accessories and considered homeware to round out the vibes.
MANAVA – People & Culture At The Centre
MANAVA is a Cambodia-based social enterprise that puts people and culture at the centre of design. Taking its name from the Sanskrit for ‘humankind,’ the brand champions female artisans through hand-crafted rattan and willow-grass pieces – preserving Cambodia’s craft heritage while building stable, long-term livelihoods. Committed to fair work and transparency, MANAVA currently supports 24 women with safe workplaces, creative training, and life-skills programmes delivered with local partners – covering financial literacy, women’s rights, healthcare, and English. The impact is measurable: household contributions have more than doubled since joining the cooperative. MANAVA treats nature with equal care, working with fast-growing rattan (‘pdau’) and willow grass (‘la paek’) – harvested responsibly from Cambodia’s rivers and lakes, with yields capped to protect regeneration.
BRAVE SHOES – Pared-Back Geometry
Founded in 2021 by two friends in Thailand, BRAVE SHOES is a contemporary footwear label proving that fun, creativity, and responsibility can coexist. Designed and made locally, the brand draws on geometric sculpture and space-age fashion for pared-back geometry and statement forms. A full-lifecycle view is taken of each pair – from components to last wear – to cut waste and champion reuse. Leather alternatives include deadstock PU and fabrics, plus bio-based composites made from agricultural by-products like banana and lime peels – channelled through local supply chains to return value to farming communities. Underfoot, soles are regenerated from recycled (plastic-free) rubber, while heels come from a closed-loop process using recovered plastics.
Perk By Kate – Band & Strap Adjustments For Longer Wear
Singapore-founded lingerie label Perk by Kate sets out to make beautiful underwear with a lighter footprint. Limited runs and exacting cuts mean minimal offcuts and no excess – while fabrics prioritise natural and recycled fibres, with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification where possible. The brand is upfront about realities (lingerie can’t be entirely natural thanks to hardware and elastics) and just as clear about impact: encouraging wearers to bring in a well-loved set for refurbishing or band/strap adjustments to extend its life.
Studio MU/YU – Wood-Led Design
If you’re drawn to jewellery with soul and subtle texture, bookmark Studio MU/YU. This Singapore label ‘speaks wood,’ celebrating swirling grain, pale-to-dark rings, and the occasional knot, then turning discarded timber into sculptural trinkets and bags – each hand-finished and one-of-a-kind. Sustainability is baked in: pieces are slow-made from rescued offcuts, then shaped and sealed with hardwax oil for gentle, long-wear use (treat them like fine leather, meaning keep dry, avoid chemicals, store out of direct sun). The payoff is tactile accessories that patina with time and continue their own story.
ANGUS TSUI – Upcycling As A Design System
For future-facing fashion with a conscience, look to ANGUS TSUI. Founded in 2014, the Hong Kong namesake label is known for avant-garde forms anchored in planet-minded practice – upcycling projects, small-batch craft, and partnerships that turn ‘waste’ into wonder. The credentials are real: shows at London, Shanghai, and Hong Kong Fashion Weeks, plus exhibitions at Salvatore Ferragamo Museum’s ‘Sustainable Thinking’ (Florence) and the Vancouver Art Gallery’s ‘Fashion Fictions.’ Recent highlights include a DHL collaboration (Jan 2025) reimagining retired uniforms as sharp, collectible pieces. In short, ANGUS TSUI is experimental, visionary, and responsibly made – producing statement garments you’ll archive, not discard.
Sarr.rai – High-Vibe Design
SARR.RAI translates high-vibe ideals into modern objects and adornment, drawing on the poetry of underwater plants and the ecosystems they sustain. Production stays close to home – rooted in local craft, fair work, and skills transfer that opens pathways for young makers. Meanwhile, materials and methods follow responsible practices to ensure a lighter footprint and longer life. The brand holds a simple brief: design that respects biodiversity and serves people and planet. Think ‘jewellery for you and for your home’ – sculptural, ocean-leaning forms with reef-like textures, seagrass curves, and soft, light-catching lines.
Munimuni Studio – Techniques Passed Down
We love pieces that carry a story – and even more when they’re made with care. That’s Munimuni. The Philippines-born label (name meaning ‘to reflect’ in Filipino) puts makers first, working mainly with women in rural communities to craft small-batch, handmade pieces using techniques passed down through generations. Guided by Fair Trade principles – fair pay, safe conditions, transparency – the brand proves that good design and good practice belong together. The look? Seasonless and richly textured – objects you’ll use every day and feel proud to own.
APARA – Essentials Over Excess
Practical and built for repeat wear, APARA is a small-batch label crafting modern staples you’ll reach for year after year. Influenced by the pace of everyday life, the pieces favour essentials over excess. The versatile cuts here are designed to mix, match, and earn their keep. Production stays close to home with a local, family-owned manufacturer in the Philippines – complete with 35+ years of craftsmanship, small runs for lower waste, and hands-on quality control.
