Sacrificing style for sustainability is not part of this Los Angeles-based boutique’s vocabulary. Home to a carefully edited selection of brands and designers that are committed to creating clothes and accessories both ethically and cruelty-free, elborne makes sure that everything in the shop looks good and is good for the environment. Does it get any better? Nope.

This LA designer basically had us at hello. Before she became a designer, Shaina Mote worked in many different roles within the fashion industry, from vintage buyer and pattern maker to creative director. Today she is the ultimate when it comes to versatile and timeless staples that are wearable yet undeniably modern. The functionality of minimalist, sleek design is combined with unusual accents and unexpected quirks that bring each collection to life. Natural, sustainable fabrics such as tencel, rayon, modal, wool and cotton are used to craft each piece. All Shaina Mote pieces are designed and made in Los Angeles.
