Label by Three is a slow-fashion womenswear label founded and run by three sisters, all women of color, based in Arizona. The garments are designed and handmade in Phoenix, with a focus on minimalism, sustainability and versatility, meaning pieces meant to work across a wardrobe rather than for a single occasion. The sisters work with deadstock fabrics and locally sourced materials instead of ordering new yardage, and production is made-to-order and small-batch, which keeps waste down and means each order is cut when it is placed.
The brand describes what it is doing as 'slow fashion, inclusivity, and the action that makes a brand truly ethical,' and the making process reflects that more plainly than any marketing could. Label by Three has been featured in Fashionista's roundup of more than 100 Black-owned fashion brands and in a 2020 New York Magazine Strategist piece.
The business sells direct to consumers online, with no storefront, so everything is ordered through the site. For anyone building a wardrobe slowly and deliberately, it is a good fit. Browse the current pieces online.
