FAQ
Where are your garments manufactured?
All pieces are currently manufactured in house on a made-to-order basis. For future growth and upcoming collections we are branching out to work with apparel manufacturers based in the United States, working on small quantity batches of your favorite whimsical garments.
What does sustainability mean to the brand?
Sustainability is an incredibly important value to the brand. While utilizing scrap textiles does not fully align with our brand aesthetic we are committed to cutting back on textile waste generated in our production process. We are proud to partner with local sustainable apparel designers to ensure even the smallest of scraps from our studio are utilized and/or consciously recycled.
What Inspires each collection?
While each collection aims to exude a sense of whimsy, each collection has a unique source of inspiration. Most frequently our collections are inspired by a sense of nostalgia, botanicals, photography and art work. Collection 1202, draws inspiration from recent travels, mixing NYC Streetwear with southern bridal elements. Whereas, our SS'23 Line Bloom drew inspiration from personal growth and botanicals inspired by a sense of nostalgia.
