These qualifiers are now what justify having to a pay premium. From a luxury standpoint, you can liken these labels to the Made In Italy or Handcrafted in France marks. A pair of footwear made in the workshops of Florence will fetch a higher price than sneakers manufactured in a mega factory. Similarly, a tube of vegan moisturizer will cost you more than the usual beauty counter fare.

You get what you pay for is rationale we often tell ourselves when as we checkout of the wholesale store that charged an arm and a leg for a few items. “The fact is, better doesn’t have to cost more. That’s why we created Brandless,” says the team behind this retail game changer. The company went down the supply chain–to the very source–to establish closer links between supplier and customers. “The system by which goods are made, distributed, sold and brought home is long overdue for a makeover.” And that’s exactly what Brandless did. They reworked the chain so that markups are significantly lower and more customers are able to access quality products that are healthier and more sustainable.
