PROCESS

CONCEPT

Each garment and collection begins with an idea that is refined and built upon by thorough research and education on form, fabric, and nuance.

CONSTRUCTION

We work with an established friend-owned atelier based in Brooklyn, NY to pattern, sample, and produce our garments, so that we ensure full oversight and precision. Our fabrics are directly sourced from Italy and locally in NYC.

CRAFT

Every detail matters, so every garment is refined and quality down to the thread. More than that, we believe in full transparency. Below is our active timeline, pricing breakdown, and business model for your reference on how we operate.

PRICING

Due to the high quality of these garments, we can’t afford to produce them in bulk and rely on sales, especially as a new brand with only one pocket of funding. But we don’t expect you to pay astronomical prices either for our garments. So we aren’t marking up. Each garment is priced at exactly what it costs to make it plus a small buffer on top for any variation in materials (sizing). You’re paying for what you get. We aren’t here to make money – we just want people wearing the clothes.

Costs are approximate and may vary slightly by size and materials.

BUSINESS MODEL

Fashion is an expensive and wasteful industry and being a small brand invites a lot of financial/inventory risk. So we utilize a business model that alleviates both of those concerns.

We have worked with our atelier to set a minimum bulk order of 10 and to avoid the burden of fronting that cost for each garment, preorders will have to reach that minimum (10) by the end of the preorder period for that individual garment to be produced. Once the minimum is reached, that garment will be fully open to preorder as normal until the end of the period. Preorders placed before the minimum is reached will not be charged until the 10th order is placed and can be removed at any point until then, no pressure.

This way the garments will already be paid for and only the exact amount of orders will be produced, sparing waste and expense. You will be able to track the preorder progress from the progress bars under each product on the shop page or product pages.
