Our journey began in 2015 with a desire to re-imagine local apparel manufacturing and cultivate a sense of community & craftsmanship that we felt was lacking in Los Angeles.
We wanted to design & make items to enhance our lives; taking less away from the earth and doing so with thought and intention.
We measure our impact not in a footprint, but in footsteps.
From our design studio, to pattern room, to the sample sewer, the cutting table to the production line and finally through inspection and our packing line, it takes approximately eighty-two steps to complete a garment.
Our absolute beating heart is the community of people who design, create, and make LA RELAXED.
That’s why we refuse to pay anything less than a living wage as we cultivate an atmosphere of respect and collaboration. We are all about our people.
We believe in sufficient, not excess, so we built our business on a limited run model.
We don’t over produce and we don’t
ever send a garment to landfill.
Our limited run model is designed to decrease waste and best utilize our raw materials.
We are LA, and we care about all things local. By forming partnerships with local mills, we are able to shrink most of our sourcing to within a ten mile radius.
Our close relationships with LA - based fabric mills also allow us to source excess yardage bound for the the landfill. We take time to reimagine, design and make something beautiful & lasting.
We source third-party certified plant based fibers, like GOTS Organic Cotton, Hemp, and LENZING™ fibers.
They are as safe for the growers as they are for your skin.
