A fun way to support young entrepreneurs, independent designers, and crafty creatives is by purchasing products from small businesses. Here’s a list of 10 trendy small businesses that we’re obsessed with, selling everything from fashion to furniture.

To die for vintage Dior tees are nourtheboar.co’s specialty, as seen on Instagram starlets like Devon Lee Carlson and Renee Bellerive. These carefully curated whimsical pieces are perfect if you’re in the mood to splurge on a designer top that makes a statement. Don’t worry if funky Dior shirts aren’t your thing, the shop sells a wide range of high end items, everything from Louis Vuitton wallets and Prada bags to Gucci snorkeling goggles and Chanel basketballs.
2. HERR by Isabela
HERR by Isabela handmakes the cutest early 2000s inspired essentials: stretchy mini skirts and halter dresses.
