The Small Brands (& Big Sales!) We’re Shopping During Quarantine
Earlier this week we shared some of our favorite local brick-and-mortar shops and small businesses and ways to support them, and today we’re sharing some of our favorite small brands and female-owned online shops who are offering major sales at the moment. While we’re not all in a position to shop at the moment (and even if you’re not, there are still ways to help!), but we hope that by supporting small brands and shops we love, and by purchasing thoughtfully and responsibly, we can help contribute to the greater good. It’s easy to forget sometimes about the people behind these small businesses: they’re real people with real families, real employees, real rents, real mortgages, and real payrolls. It’s not just about keeping the lights on—it’s about keeping their staff employed and their families cared for, too. Below, check out the small brands we're supporting and the online sales we're shopping during quarantine:
ANINE BING
We love the rock-and-roll yet ladylike vibe of this L.A. clothing label founded by Danish model and musician, Anine Bing. Subscribe to their email list and receive a promo code for 25% off sitewide. We’ve got our eyes on this fishbone blazer and this mint-green moto jacket.
FRANCES MAY
Frances May is one of those cool, local boutiques that’s a destination worth visiting all on its own. We love this Portland shop’s stylish collection of indie designers and unique offerings. Use promo code FASHION for 30% off select merchandise during their birthday sale. Snag a pair of cult-favorite Jesse Kamm pants or cool Rachel Comey earrings.
JAMES STREET CO
There’s no better time than quarantine to invest in James Street Co’s stylish loungewear—these cozy-chic separates make the perfect WFH attire. Get 40% off your entire order with the code COZYUP. We’re eyeing this oversized cardigan and these matching pants.

Shop this charming Salt Lake City boutique’s selection of classic and feminine pieces, from dresses and skirts to blouses and sweaters. Take an extra 15% off all sale items during Koo De Ker’s spring sale the code SPRINGSALE (ends April 6). We love this camel sweater and this silky slip skirt.
LOEFFLER RANDALL
It seems we fall head over heels—or in this case, mules—for a pair of Loeffler Randall shoes every season. Founded by Jessica Loeffler Randall, this small but mighty shoe brand is one of our all-time favorites. Take 30% off sitewide right now during their Small Business, Big Sale promotion. We just added these gold lamé pleated knot mules to our cart, and we can’t wait for sunnier days ahead to take them out on the town (or currently, a walk around the block).

Save 20% off all women’s clothing and accessories with the promo code SPREADLOVE and get free shipping with promo code STAYHOME.

MANSUR GAVRIEL
Founded by Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel in 2012, Mansur Gavriel’s iconic leather Bucket Bag has become a new handbag icon. And there’s no better time to invest in the modern statement purse: Mansur Gavriel is donating 10% of sales from the purchase of any Bucket Bag to the GlobalGiving Coronavirus Relief Fund.

SLEEPER
We’re big fans of Sleeper’s fancy pajamas—perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktail hour—featuring classic menswear-style pajama sets accented with fun, feminine flourishes like marabou feathers, ruffles, and polka dots. Founded in 2014 by two former editors, Kate Zubarieva and Asya Varetsa, Sleeper’s stylish sets are the kind of PJs you won’t feel bad about wearing all day. Save 40% off during their spring clearance sale, and take an extra 15% off last chance items with code TAKEACHANCE.
