Chinese Indie Brand Directory: S-Z
Not every indie brand has enough Lolibrary entries/info to warrant its own page and that's okay! This page will serve as a general indie brand directory for information on smaller indie brands, sorted by region. To keep this as an up-to-date directory, only active brands should be included in the main sections here; an appendix at the bottom will serve as the location for closed/defunct indie brands for archival purposes. Please refer to the Adding an Indie Brand guidelines section below before editing this page; thank you![1]
Adding an Indie Brand

Formatting

Surface Spell (表面咒语)
Planning for Surface Spell started in 2002, with the online shop opening in 2004.[2] Initially the shop mainly sold ready-made clothing, but they opened a custom store in 2008.[2] The brand was formed by two designers with 10 years of experience in design and patterning for professional clothing companies. They like pearls, lace, velvet and warm textures as well as pre-raphaelite and neoclassical art.[2] They draw inspiration from mainstream runway fashion and vintage 1950s fashion photos. They believe that mixing and matching colors should not be taboo and that mixing sweet and dark, classical rock, things that contradict is not a bad thing.[2]
