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.

Our love song began in the island of Bali, where our founder Stephanie Srikandi is from.
THIS IS A LOVE SONG aka TIALS was launched in 2010 as a boutique where the line humbly started and took off. Coming from a fashion business school background, she always loved creating clothing but it was always very important for her to make ethical choices to minimize the impact that the fashion industry has on our planet. She also wanted to create pieces that that will make you feel comfortable in your own skin and embrace all sizes.
All of our pieces are ethically made in our very own studio in Bali, Indonesia using ecofriendly fabrics such as ECOVERO, TENCEL, Carvico and Repreve. Everything is made in small batches or in a preorder basis to minimize waste. We also donate 1% of our sales to 1% for the Planet to support nonprofits such as 1 Million Women and Bye Bye Plastic Bags.
We believe in looking good, feeling good and doing good.
