What New-ish Second Life Brands Should New World Notes Feature?

One thing that's clear from the general reaction to the anonymous rant about the Second Life economy: People feel like it's increasingly impossible for newer brands to get attention in such an established virtual economy.

And then writing this blog post, it suddenly occurred to me: Oh right, I have a blog, and  might be able to help!

Starting soon, New World Notes will highlight new, emerging Second Life brands which deserve more attention and potential customers. And I need readers' help! 

Specifically I'm looking for help with suggestions. Are there new-ish SL merchants/brands you think deserve more attention?

Here's some rough criteria for nominations:

 

• SL brand must be 5 years old or less
• Have a Marketplace listing
• Have a social media feed (Flickr, X/Twitter, FB, etc.) that's 5 years older or less
• Feature content that's innovative, high quality, and graphically well-optimized 
• Short explanation about why the brand is unique/interesting/worthwhile

Please post details/links in comments! And yes, self-promotion is fine.

We make beautiful, scene-changing skyboxes from real-world photos, renders and AI, but mostly AI lately! It's gotten so good.

Suggesting Neutral Tones! They started off with really unique shoes but branched out into doing more interesting fashion accessories that could only exist in sl. Brilliant mind and creative!

I have a store around five years old. Everyone that comes to it tells me how much they love it and that it is so unique but they were not aware it existed until they heard from a friend. My MP is in the middle of being reworked, so only about 4% of my product is there, but I would love for someone to come by and check out the store. I only create coastal themed furniture, decor, homes, beach items, etc. I also have a coastal themed jewelry store and clothing store on the sim. Am leaving a link to the flickr for the main store and a link to the sim. I hope this generates some publicity and more people find out about the store. Thank you for the opportunity.

And the self promotion begins! Lol Limited Addiction was created to house all my original mesh under one brand. It took quite a few years to teach myself how to model, rig, and render textures! But it was all worth it and I absolutely love my little brand and hope others will enjoy it as well! As for style....it is kind of all over the place just like me. Some days its a goth mood, others kawaii, or just a cozy casual fit!

Self-promotion here. :P

In addition to cute dresses and casual outfits, my slogan tee range called "Q-Tees" is especially close to my heart. It gives me a canvas for my creativity and humor. I've had customers write to me about how the tees allowed them to express themselves and feel proud about themselves.
I recently extended this range to RL too, so people can have the same tee in RL as their avatar in SL! :D Check it out on Redbubble --- https://www.redbubble.com/people/ManikinThreads/shop

ALT3
I do not participate in Marketplace, as its been going through too many changes to keep up. Once it settles down I'll relist

ALT3 is a cosmetic enhancement store for both men and women, but takes an eclectic and whimsical approach to skin and cosmetics. I also make original mesh accessories and holdables. I pride myself on offering things that other stores do not, products that are 100% hand made by humans.

Aardvark makes some pretty funny stuff. Their items always makes me smile. I was riding around on a balloon dog! They started out in decor and have been making alot of animals lately.
