I am not sure what stores are accessible in the EU, so I’m sorry if I recommend something you don’t have access to.
I found a discussion on another subreddit for women looking for quality clothes that would last a long time. They were specifically discussing buying wardrobe staples that won’t go out of fashion.
In summary, they concluded great brands to buy for longevity are Everlane(just the pants), Uniqlo(specific items), Djerf Avenue, Oak+Fort, Frank and Oak, Anine Bing, and buying vintage on Etsy.
I am going to start shopping at the places above, but haven’t yet.
On a personal level, I like REI because of the 1 year return policy. I bought a pair of REI brand yoga pants that have lasted me 5 years now and look brand new! I will buy some prAna brand joggers soon(sold in REI stores).
I shop at Nordstrom because they have so many high quality pieces to choose from. I filter the searches by material and select 100% for the following: wool, silk, cashmere, linen and cotton.
I also love Etsy and find that Eastern Europe makes so many high quality clothes, bags, and shoes to choose from. I also buy vintage on Etsy. This is a great way to get large discounts on high quality fabrics.

Would you suggest some Etsy stores from Eastern Europe you mentioned, please? :)

Sure! 😊 One thing to keep in mind is that the majority of shops on Etsy have long shipping times. Expect to wait one month to receive the item. (3 months if it’s custom made or made to order.) I pay through PayPal, so if the package gets lost in the mail and never arrives, I will be refunded through PayPal.

This is a list of all the clothes/bag stores I follow on Etsy for quality clothes. Most of them are Eastern European, but there are some other countries mixed in.
