For those intrepid fashion explorers, discovering the holy grail garment will likely lead you well beyond the borders of these 50 states. There's an endless well of emerging and established fashion talent abroad, but not all of that heat is easily or readily accessible here in the U.S.

In today's age, having a webshop is more than enough to allow you to flourish in the international market, but no one can deny the feeling of experiencing a brand in person; trying on the clothing, feeling it with your own hands—all without the need to wait for your latest order to ship in from overseas. It's not that every designer on this list is impossible to obtain; some have support from major retailers like Dover Street Market and Opening Ceremony.

However, just being located in a few stores in major cities doesn't necessarily make a label easy to find. Often, brick-and-mortars and webshops alike offer product on a rotating basis, and when a designer releases clothing to a small market, creates a limited run, or simply just isn't well known, the clothes are difficult to cop—no matter where and how they're sold. Remember, just because a shop did carry a designer, it doesn't mean they have stock for sale right this minute, and just searching several of these designers online will lead to empty shop pages with nothing available for purchase.​

While these labels vary on their global representation, one thing is clear, we're definitely pining for an increase in their presence in this country. These are 15 Brands We All Wish Were More Widely Available in the U.S​.
