Introducing Showroom, Our Curated Selection of Premium Apparel and Footwear

August 22, 2022  |  By Faire

We’re excited to introduce our fashion community to Showroom—the destination to shop a curated selection of Faire’s premium apparel and footwear offerings. Showroom makes it easy for retailers to discover premium contemporary fashion lines for their stores, and gives brands the opportunity to be elevated within Faire’s marketplace in recognition of the quality of their products. All Showroom brands are carefully reviewed by Faire’s editorial team for fabric, fit, and construction.

What makes a Showroom brand

Showroom brands receive an exclusive badge and are showcased alongside other premium apparel and footwear brands. Each Showroom brand is evaluated by Faire’s editorial team to ensure they meet our high standards of quality. Brands are selected for Showroom based on the following criteria:

  • Quality fabrics: We review fabric composition, weight, and texture. We also look for the inclusion of natural fibers like cotton, silk, cashmere, and leather as good indicators of quality.
  • Precise fit: Premium garments are tailored to fit the body and give it shape. We look at darts, seams, topstitching, and how an item drapes to provide movement. 
  • Thoughtful construction: To ensure each item is designed and produced with care, we check everything from zippers and lines to transparent manufacturing methods.

The Knotty Ones began in 2014, when three best friends from Lithuania set out on a mission to create the perfect knit while giving back to underprivileged women in their community. Their designs—from knit sweaters to pajamas and loungewear—are inspired by their Baltic heritage, Pagan culture, and their surrounding natural environment. With a focus on fair-trade and sustainability, all of The Knotty Ones’ knits are produced by independent female artisans in rural Lithuania making a living wage in safe working conditions. In addition, The Knotty Ones uses 100% biodegradable yarn sourced from ethical suppliers around the world, and compostable packaging. In 2020, the company was certified Climate Neutral.
