Indie Brand Directory
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]

L'Esprit de la Noblesse
Made and owned by Nicolas and Elizabeth Daiglere. They describe their brand as follows:
"While creating clothes and accessories we are inspired by the aesthetics of past centuries, history and literature, as well as prominent historical figures and events. We believe that clothing is a great way to express yourself and your take on the world, as well as to bring a little bit of beauty in it. At the same time, each collection we release carries a certain idea and sometimes touches on very serious topics: the relationship between life and death, the importance of health, the desire to show strength, topics of struggle and independence."[3]
