Even though Gucci lays claim to the rise in popularity of snake and bee embellishments in recent years, Alepel has carved their spot for custom designed accessories and complimentary monograms. Created in 2014, this Miami based brand recently branched out into home with a line of colorful tabletop pieces as well as stylish picnic accessories. They’re known for their hand painted shoes and bags at a more affordable price than their luxury competitors. They have grown in popularity, with over 266K monthly page views to their Pinterest page.
3. No-Cosmetics
IG: @NOCOSMETICS.DE
The German, family-owned No-Cosmetics has shown what it means to be a no makeup skincare brand. They emphasize genderless and vegan skin care that can be used by all ages and skin types. With travel being a popular focus among consumers, No-Cosmetics has tapped into that by putting together kits that include all the steps needed for a skincare routine. Their affordable pricing and ad campaigns that feature inclusive models highlight natural beauty with a Gen-Z twist. They have amassed over 62,000 followers on Instagram and are planning to expand their American presence over the next year.
