Signature details include deconstructed seams and raw hems, novelty hand-dyed or hand-painted techniques and interesting trims applied in unusual ways that create a raw, unique feel for each piece. The look is beautifully relaxed and broken-in, yet well-crafted.
The creative team behind this label are two experienced and versatile designers each with notable and varied backgrounds in fashion and design. The duo are long-time friends, inspired to create their own line from a desire to keep production here in Los Angeles as well as their intense love of fashion and great concern for our planet. The birth of their daughters a year apart became the driving force behind their decision to start a contemporary, yet environmentally conscious company.
