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.
We wanted to design & make items to enhance our lives; taking less away from the earth and doing so with thought and intention. We knew that to undertake this it would start with the people.
From the outset we wanted to keep design and make in-house & under one roof and to this day that is still the case. We have carefully built a community that spans specialties, languages and life experience.
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.
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 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.
We source third-party certified plant based fibers that are as safe for the growers as they are for your skin.
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.
