Transcript

Are some brands I found inspiring this week. The first is Pallet Company. Pallet is a custom tile brand based in The Netherlands that makes these stunning ceramic tiles. It's one of those categories that have been stale for a really long time, and pallet brings a freshness and a vibrance in a way that really stopped me in my tracks. I love the patterns and the colors and how they make spaces really stand out. Better is a New York based jewelry brand made by Daisy Pio. These designs are really stunning and super unique from the double drop rings to their signature vignette hoop. They bring a really nice organic whimsical design into the jewelry world, and I really love what she's making over there. Lastly, we have factors. Factors is actually an Atlanta based clothing brand that is bringing a fresh take to suiting and tailoring. They've been featured in Vogue and GQ and worn by celebrities like John Malkovich. They have a really nice classic elegance to their designs even in tier ready to wear, which I find quite lovely. We don't get to see a lot of brands like this come out of Atlanta, so it's been really great to see them grow. Let me know what rank stood out to you the most in the comments below and what brands I should cover in the future. Tag them below.
