Webpack - Bundle only required CSS files for production - css

Question

I have a Vue app that has 3 different css themes depending on what the 'brand' is set to. Right now it is working in development. I run an npm run dev command and pass in the brand, then set the brand variable to be globally accessible, and then in my main.js file I set the required css dynamically based on what the brand variable is.
var brand = window.__BRAND__;
require('../static/' + brand + '/css/typography.css')
require('../static/' + brand + '/css/header.css')
require('../static/' + brand + '/css/main.css')
require('../static/' + brand + '/css/footer.css')
file structure:
static
foo
css
bar
css
So if I run 'npm --brand=bar run dev' it will require '..static/bar/typography.css' etc.
This works great in my local environment; each has it's own distinct look. The issue I'm having now is with building the app for production. Webpack is somehow compiling ALL of the css files into one and I end up with a hybrid app that has some styling from each. Instead, I need it to compile the CSS with ONLY the files that are required. Here is my webpack.prod.conf file:
var path = require('path')
var utils = require('./utils')
var webpack = require('webpack')
var config = require('../config')
var merge = require('webpack-merge')
var baseWebpackConfig = require('./webpack.base.conf')

var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin')
var ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin')
var OptimizeCSSPlugin = require('optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin')
var env = config.build.env
var webpackConfig = merge(baseWebpackConfig, {

extract: true
})
},
