Hi Everyone,
In this video I’m talking about how I spot good quality clothes that will last in my wardrobe for years.
I explain different aspects of material and construction, two pillars of high quality garments.
I’m sure I’ve missed something so please share with us your experience and how you find the best quality clothes.
I hope you enjoy the video!!!

22:01 HOW TO FIND GOOD QUALITY CLOTHES
HIGH QUALITY SHOPS I RECOMMEND:
NOT PERFECT LINEN (familyrun, sustainable linen, ETSY)
BRORA (cashmere, wool)
JIGSAW (fine soft cashmere)
JOHN SMEDLEY (premium knitwear)
BODA SKINS (premium leather, viscose lining)
GUNDA HAFNER (UK made, wool, silk, linen, cotton)
SANVT (premium cotton, wool)
ASKET organic cotton basics, recycled wool,
ARMED ANGELS (organic, sustainable, ethical basics with a twist),
PEOPLE TREE (sustainable, organic, ethical however to me clothes are too classic and generic),
LILYSILK (I especially recommend wool trousers, silk)
PATRIZIA ARYTON (COATS. could be only in Poland, but if you have a chance to shop there it’s a cheaper, but same quality as Max Mara)
OFFICINE GENERALE (tailoring, knitwear)
BAGS
CHYLAK (of course!!)
SONGMONT (haven’t been disappointed with a quality of my 2 bags, leather+silk lining)
