Why are our clothes so expensive?

We've had some questions lately. People want to know why our products are more expensive than large-scale fashion companies.

Here's why:

1. We're a small business

We run our business out of our studio in San Antonio. We work with amazing seamstresses and cutters. We're a small team of about 10 people.

 

2. We pay fair and ethical wages

We love and value everyone who works with us. It's important that we pay our workers livable and fair wages. We manufacture everything* in San Antonio, TX, not overseas. *We have experimented with partners in India but will no longer be producing those garments. 

 

3. We embrace slow fashion

We get it. Clothes are fun. Variety is fun. But fast fashion is ruining our planet and perpetuating unfair work environments. We produce pieces that will last YEARS and avoid micro-plastics or other unnatural materials. Stop buying clothing that ends up in a landfill after a couple of wears.
