Brands on file in designer clothing

Documented from each brand's own catalogue, sizing and returns pages and named press, checked September 2026. Figures are the brands' own. We name an outlet only where we read its page ourselves; anything a brand asserts about its own coverage is counted separately and labelled as the brand's claim.

• Anna October

  $850–$850

  Ukrainian designer womenswear built on bias-cut slip dresses, corsets and satin separates, sold from a EUR-priced storefront.

  Made in · Ukraine. The about page states each piece is 'thoughtfully crafted in an intimate Ukrainian atelier'. No product page sampled carried a country-of-origin statement, so the Ukrainian-manufacture claim rests on brand marketing copy. Orders ship from an EU warehouse via DHL Express, not from Ukraine.

• Heirlome

  $290–$6,590

  New York luxury women's ready-to-wear whose prints reproduce artwork by named Mexican and Latin American artisans.

  Made in · Multi-origin, and worth stating precisely. Tailored ready-to-wear is Made in USA, verified on the Alyona Dress and Abigail Trousers product pages. Silk twill scarves are Made in Italy. Hand-knit and crochet pieces are produced by the Madres y Artesanas Tex collective in Bolivia, including the $6,590 Rivera Dress. The named artisans are overwhelmingly the source of the artwork, reproduced as print, rather than the makers of the garment; physical artisan handwork is limited to the Bolivian knit collective and Arturo Estrada's hand-woven rebozos.
