we are deeply committed to creating a better world.
+ social impact
our clothes are for whoever wants to wear them.
our gender inclusive designs cater to a range of bodies who typically wear 7xl - xxs, and use a roman numeral size system to eliminate the societal stigma that standard size charts perpetuate.
none of our styles are gendered as we know anatomy doesn’t always dictate identity and for some, gender is fluid.
for us, it’s about the fit -- not the label.
all of our sizes are priced the same and we don't have separate sections for certain sizes or genders. we believe these initiatives help bring inclusivity into the fashion space while creating a caring community that supports gender + size equity.
+ environmental impact
keeping our carbon footprint as small as possible is a priority, so our materials and processes are rooted in intentional, responsible practices.
we limit waste by producing our season-less staples in small batches. no fast-fashion or give away piles here.
we offer free carbon neutral shipping on all domestic purchases, buying carbon offsets to account for the environmental impact of ground transportation.
