Sustainable
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world, and it’s time we rethink the materials, processes, and packaging used to create our beloved purchases. This is why we’ve done the upfront legwork and vetted our brands to ensure that our planet’s health is top of mind for them as well.
Woman-Owned
Women lift up half of the sky - by investing in women, you’re assisting in the process of creating more wealth for families and communities. The successes of women shape the way young girls see themselves as they develop into leaders, and it's essential for the world to provide leaders that mirror half of the population.
Toxic Free
The secret behind the beauty, personal-care, and fashion industry is that they’re virtually unregulated, and therefore, allowed to use untested chemicals in their products. Exposure to these ingredients can be harmful overtime, and that’s why we’ve vetted each and every single one of these brands to ensure that they’re up to standards for those looking for a cleaner beauty routine or may be more sensitive to harsh ingredients.
Ethical
Here at ourCommonplace, all brands have our ethical stamp of approval, which encompasses decent working conditions, treatment of workers, and fair-wages. Through providing a platform for purchasing ethical goods and ensuring all brands uphold ethical standards, we hope to take us towards a more equitable and just world.
BIPOC-Owned
We believe in uplifting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities by empowering their businesses. By choosing to allocate your purchasing power to BIPOC-owned businesses, you're not only strengthening local BIPOC communities — you're also contributing to shrinking the racial wealth gap, fostering job creation, and propelling diverse representation across consumer industries.
Cruelty Free
Animal tests are often painful and cause the suffering and deaths of millions of animals every year. Having this stamp of approval means that no animals were tested on, harmed or killed in the process of making the product. When you opt in for cruelty-free brands, you’re opting out of animal testing, and investing in clean products that are made for the benefit of your body, animals, and the environment.
Exclusively designed by BrunnaCo. One-of-a-kind handwoven natural straw bag from Lombok Island, Indonesia. This bag is made from natural straw called "Atta" which is commonly grown and harvested in Lombok & East Bali. Through generations, the people of Lombok grew up learning the traditional Atta weaving method.
The name "Mandailing" is inspired by the traditional cultural group in Sumatra, Indonesia. They came under the influence of the Kaum Padri who ruled the Minangkabau of Tanah Datar. We chose this name to introduce the beautiful cultural diversity of Indonesia through our collections.
Add this to your Christmas Holiday gift list for special ones. Its unique design will make a memorable Holiday gift and great conversation piece.

BrunnaCo is the Californian environmentally & socially sustainable fashion line established in 2017 by Helga Ida Ayu, a Balinese who lives in La Jolla. They are known for their island-hopping bags & fashion collection sourced directly from local artisans and farmers in Indonesian villages. BrunnaCo is a woman-owned company representing the voice of local artisans in Bali and other provinces of Indonesia who are primarily female artisans working from the comfort of their own home while nurturing their children and family. Their vision empowers local talents to preserve Indonesian culture and inspire today’s generation to benefit our environment through fashion.
In response to the pandemic that drastically changes the lives of many people, especially the artisans in the village, BrunnaCo wants to be sensible and supportive of each talented individual who recently lost their jobs. This year BrunnaCo releases their new organic apparel collections, and post-pandemic cover-up jacket collections made of certified recycled plastic.
