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.

Increase or reduce the recommended size based on your measurements to achieve the desired look.
How to measure yourself?
To use our size chart you must obtain the measurements of your body and then locate them to the size chart. Use a soft tape measure to surround your body at the three main points; chest, waist and hip.
BUST
Measure the chest with a bra that you usually wear.
WAIST
The waist is approximately the height of your navel, the narrowest part of your natural waist.
HIP
When you measure the hip do it at the widest part.
To measure yourself it is important to do it with underwear to achieve more realistic measurements.
If you have doubts between one size or another according to your measurements, it is important that you keep the most relevant measurements. For example, the measurement of the hip is the most important factor in choosing the size of a pair of pants.
In the descriptions of our garments you will find the measurement of the different parts. THESE MEASUREMENTS REFER TO THE PIECE ITSELF AND WILL BE DIFFERENT TO THE MEASUREMENTS OF YOUR BODY (the measurements of the pieces will be larger than the measurements of your body and the elastic bands probably smaller).
All the measures of the pieces we take them in plane, therefore you will have to duplicate them when it is necessary. For example if the measurement of the opening of the sleeve in plane is 12, the total control of opening of the sleeve will be 24.
The measurements are approximate and may vary slightly due to the nature of the handmade clothing.
The best way that the measurements of the pieces will be useful will be comparing them with items that you already have and you like. When you measure any piece make sure you have it as flat as possible but without stretching it.
