I love Free People. There’s just something about their clothes, the flowy dresses, the soft fabrics, the way every piece feels a little bit carefree.
But lately, I’ve found myself wanting to branch out to other brands. Brands that have the same bohemian, effortless style as Free People
So I started searching for new labels that capture that same Free People energy. And wow, did I find some gems.
Here are some amazing clothing brands like Free People that blend bohemian beauty with thoughtful design, sustainability, and soul.
1. Alix of Bohemia
Every piece from Alix of Bohemia feels like it’s been passed down through generations.
Designer Alix Verley Pietrafesa grew up surrounded by Italian textile artisans and French artists, and that heritage runs through her work.
Her designs mix mid-century bohemia with the spirit of the 1970s. Jackets, embroidered blouses, and hand-printed dresses tell little stories through color and texture.
Many details are handmade, even the clay buttons, crafted by Alix’s mother.
It’s the kind of clothing that makes you pause. Luxurious, yes, but never stiff. Every thread feels intentional, every pattern full of life.
2. Natalie Martin Collection
If your style leans toward relaxed glamour, Natalie Martin Collection will feel like home.
Born in Noosa, Australia and now based in Los Angeles, Natalie creates dreamy resort pieces using hand-printed Balinese batik fabrics.
Each garment is made by local artisans who bring her vibrant motifs to life through centuries-old techniques.
Her floaty dresses and kaftans are perfect for slow mornings, warm evenings, and beach escapes that last a little too long.
Nothing feels mass-produced, each item carries the quiet charm of something truly handmade.
3. Avy and Co
Avy and Co speaks to women who crave simplicity and longevity. Founded by Australian designer Bree Haxell, the brand partners with global artisans, especially in Bali, to create small, meaningful collections.
Everything is made in limited runs from premium fabrics: linen jumpsuits, tailored knits, leather accents that grow softer with age. These are pieces meant to live with you, not just hang prettily in a closet.
There’s beauty in the restraint, understated silhouettes, earthy tones, and the confidence that comes from thoughtful design.
4. Farm Rio
Sometimes you just need color. Farm Rio brings it in abundance.
What started as a small market booth in Rio de Janeiro in 1997 has become a global brand built on joy.
Bold florals, tropical prints, and sunshine-drenched palettes celebrate Brazil’s exuberant spirit.
Founders Kátia Barros and Marcello Bastos run the company with heart, planting a tree for every purchase and keeping sustainability at the core. Farm Rio isn’t shy, it’s happiness you can wear.
5. Maria Filó
Maria Filó began over twenty years ago in Rio de Janeiro, selling handmade knitwear.
Today it’s one of Brazil’s most beloved labels, delicate, feminine, and quietly sophisticated.
The brand still honors its artisanal roots, weaving soft textures and romantic details into every design. Picture pastel knits, floral skirts, and dresses that move beautifully.
If you love Free People’s whimsical side but prefer a touch of polish, Maria Filó bridges the gap perfectly.
6. This is The Great
Few brands capture nostalgia quite like This is The Great.
Created by Emily Current and Meritt Elliott, this Los Angeles label reimagines classic Americana with a boho twist.
Their relaxed denim, vintage-inspired florals, and slouchy silhouettes feel both familiar and fresh.
They call their pieces “best friends for your closet,” and it’s true — they’re the ones you’ll reach for again and again because they simply work.
7. Boden
For playful prints and everyday color, Boden is a cheerful alternative.
The British brand began as a mail-order catalog in 1991 and has grown into an international favorite.
Boden focuses on timeless quality, ethical production, and clothes that make you smile, tailored trousers, swing dresses, soft knits, and joyful patterns.
It’s classic with character, a brand that brings light to the grayest day.
8. Emerson Fry
Set on a New Hampshire farm, Emerson Fry is built on mindful living.
Emerson and her husband Ryan design and sew much of the collection in the U.S., using natural fabrics sourced from responsible mills in Europe and Japan.
Every piece, from simple linen dresses to easy silk tops, reflects clean lines and quiet elegance.
It’s sustainable style without the preachiness. Just well-made clothes that feel natural and true.
9. Christy Dawn
Christy Dawn is the kind of brand that changes how you think about fashion.
When Christy Dawn Baskauskas launched her line in 2014, she used leftover “deadstock” fabrics from other brands, giving them a second life.
Now, the company grows its own regenerative cotton in India, creating a true farm-to-closet story.
Her dresses, particularly the beloved Dawn Dress, are soft, romantic, and timeless. Each one carries the spirit of renewal.
10. Opia Byron Bay
Down in Byron Bay, Opia captures the simplicity of coastal life.
Using natural fibers and plant-based dyes, the brand creates delicate clothing with an earthy sensibility. Every garment, from loose linen pants to flowing tops, feels easy and light.
Production happens in small batches with a family-run workshop in Indonesia that upholds fair pay and safe conditions. Even the packaging is compostable. Opia is calm, conscious fashion that breathes.
11. Oak Meadow Clothing
Oak Meadow began with one woman’s dream on the road.
Founder Madeleine Lee started sewing while traveling with her family, creating hand-painted garments that reflected nature and motherhood.
Today, the Byron Bay-based label still produces small batches, often just thirty pieces per design.
Each dress or blouse feels deeply personal, designed to grow with you through every stage of life. Feminine, artful, and crafted with love.
12. Faithfull the Brand
If you could bottle sunshine, it would look like Faithfull the Brand.
Australian Sarah-Jane Abrahams and Norwegian Helle Them-Enger founded Faithfull in Bali, combining Scandinavian simplicity with tropical ease.
Every piece is hand-dyed, hand-printed, and sewn by local artisans.
Their flowy dresses and breezy separates are effortless vacation staples, but they work just as well in everyday life.
With its B Corp certification, Faithfull proves that ethics and beauty can coexist.
13. Linenfox
Minimalists will adore Linenfox.
Run by sisters Indre and Vaida in Lithuania, the brand crafts breathable linen clothing that’s as practical as it is beautiful.
Each design is cut and sewn in-house using Oeko-Tex-certified, toxin-free linen.
Their pieces drape naturally, softening over time and telling their own story with every wear. It’s easy, sustainable living, no frills required.
14. Shaina Mote
When I first discovered Shaina Mote, I was struck by its quiet confidence.
Based in Los Angeles, Shaina focuses on timeless shapes and responsible production. Most pieces are made locally to support small workshops and reduce emissions.
Her neutral palette and fluid tailoring create versatility, one blouse can be styled five ways, one dress works across seasons.
It’s thoughtful fashion for women who care about impact as much as aesthetics.
15. For Love of the Moon
There’s romance in reimagining the past, and For Love of the Moon makes it tangible.
Working from a studio in southern Italy, the brand handcrafts each item from vintage and recycled fabrics, lace, crochet, cotton, and silk scarves.
The result feels nostalgic yet modern, elegant yet easy to wear.
Each garment carries a sense of history, transformed into something beautifully new.
16. Curator SF
Curator SF was created by two friends, Deirdre Nagayama and Stacy Rodgers, who wanted to design clothes that truly support women’s lives.
From flattering fits to durable fabrics, everything is made to move with you. The brand produces locally in San Francisco, partnering with small, women-owned factories.
There’s nothing fussy here, just everyday pieces that make you feel comfortable and capable, all made under fair and sustainable conditions.
17. LA Relaxed
If comfort had a uniform, it might come from LA Relaxed.
Founded by Dana Weinstein, this Los Angeles brand creates luxury basics and loungewear under one roof, literally, each garment travels fewer than 100 steps from design to finish.
Soft organic cotton, plant-based fibers, and limited-run production define their approach. It’s modern slow fashion rooted in community, proving that local craftsmanship still matters.
18. Nobody’s Child
I love when a brand manages to be sustainable and accessible, and Nobody’s Child nails it.
Started in London in 2015 by Andrew Xeni, the label was built on the idea that ethical fashion shouldn’t be out of reach.
They use certified organic and recycled fabrics to create flattering, wearable pieces, from floral midis to easy knits.
Affordable, feminine, and responsible. Proof that conscious style doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
19. & Other Stories
Last on my list, but never least, is & Other Stories, a brand that feels like a global mood board.
Launched in 2013 by the H&M Group, it combines Parisian whimsy with Scandinavian restraint.
Collections come from design ateliers in both cities, giving you endless ways to mix and match.
Think soft tailoring, romantic blouses, minimal jewelry, and beauty products that round out the look.
It’s perfect if you love Free People’s eclectic feel but prefer something slightly more refined.
