The Uniform Journal Selection stamp is my visual co-sign. These brands get a UJ selection stamp for 2022. Lots of people/outlets are making their end of year lists, and some of what is here may overlap, but my aim is to keep the selections as personal as possible — nothing has been given, it’s all been purchased.

Each has created a product that has been the topic of multiple conversations throughout the year. Honorable mentions are listed on the earlier selection post here.
