Why Our Clothing is Custom Made in the USA

We make clothing differently — intentionally, thoughtfully and one piece at a time.

Every garment we offer is made to order and sewn in our artisanal studio in Richmond, VA, allowing us to focus on fit, quality and longevity rather than mass production. This approach takes more time, but it results in clothing that feels personal, well-made and meant to be worn for years.

Why We Make Garments to Order

We only order fabric once you have requested a garment to be made. We don’t produce clothing in bulk or keep excess inventory. Each piece is made only after it’s ordered.

Making garments to order allows us to:

Reduce waste and overproduction

Focus on craftsmanship rather than volume

Give proper attention to every detail of construction

This slower approach keeps the process intentional — from fabric selection to the final stitch — and ensures that each piece is made specifically for the person who will wear it.

Why Fit Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

Standard sizing is built around averages, but real bodies aren’t average.

Length, proportions and comfort all play a role in how a garment looks and feels. That’s why we offer custom length options and design our silhouettes to work across a range of body types.

Rather than asking you to compromise or “make it work,” our goal is to create clothing that feels balanced, flattering and comfortable — the way it should from the start.

Why We Choose to Sew in the USA

All of our garments are sewn in our Richmond, VA studio.

Producing locally allows us to:

Work within ethical labor standards

Maintain transparency throughout the process

Closely oversee quality and construction

Keeping production close means fewer unknowns and more accountability. It also allows us to respond thoughtfully to each order, rather than rushing pieces through an impersonal supply chain.

What This Means for Quality

Because our clothing is made to order, quality is never an afterthought.

We choose fabrics for their durability, feel and performance, and we design each garment with long-term wear in mind. Seams are finished carefully, details are intentional, and silhouettes are tested to ensure they move and drape well on the body.

The result is clothing that holds its shape, wears beautifully over time, and earns its place in your wardrobe.

What to Expect When You Order

Because each piece is custom-made, production takes time.

Your garment will be sewn specifically for you, based on your selected options and measurements. This allows us to focus on fit and construction, but it also means your order won’t ship immediately like mass-produced clothing.

In return, you receive a piece made with care, intention and attention to detail — not something pulled from a warehouse shelf.

A More Thoughtful Way to Build a Wardrobe

We believe clothing should feel personal, not disposable.

Choosing custom-made garments means investing in fewer pieces that fit well, feel right and last longer. It’s a slower way of building a wardrobe — but one that values craftsmanship, intention and longevity over trends.
