Revision as of 21:04, 8 August 2022

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

Notability/Eligibility

First of May

First of May was launched by designer Shion in 2000.[4] The brand concept is:

I love "cute". No one dislikes "cute". The moment when you think "cute things" are "lovely", it's the same for a mean person as it is for a kind person because it ’s the same “gentle feeling”. That's why I want to make "cute things". I want to be surrounded by things that I can honestly think are "cute". The name "First of May" was picked to invoke the season when such feelings sprout. It's a "cute" you can empathize with. It makes me happy.[5]

The brand primarily sells in person at events.

I think that lace is the best fit for any woman who can return to her dream when she was a girl who once dreamed of becoming a princess .

We made things that you can enjoy the lace that has been loved since the Middle Ages, and even if it is a small accessory, if you can say that you will be healed by the gorgeousness and kindness of the lace ... We design with this in mind. [6]

Melody BasKet

Melody Basket is a Japanese brand that launched in 2018 which specializes in making matching adult and children's pieces.[9] They sell via their own webshop, and also at select shop fraisier, and Harajuku Hearts.

Their brand story is:

This is a story of long long ago. Once upon a time, there lived two unicorns, BAS and KET. They lived quietly in a forest, having only each other to trust, but there was this one girl, that they could open up their heart. Her name is Melody. This is a story of long long ago. Once, there was a flood. It was the God’s plan to wash out everything in the world. There was one lifeboat, but Bas and Ket refused to get in. Instead, they decided to go to a magical world, existing far beyond the ocean. At there, they can find the medicine to cure Melody. Melody was put under an unbroken spell by an evil witch. Crystal World, where everything is run by the movement of stars, —— A world that exists between the past and the present. There’s another world called the Obsidian, where everything is run by steam —— A world that exists between the past and the present. Bas and Ket would bring back the medicine from either world. This is a story of Melody&Bas+Ket. A story of long long ago. Traveling back and forth the world and time that exists, ——MelodyBasKet—— A tale begins, with the two unicorns and one girl.[10]
