Their classic, timeless, cosy clothes are definitely an essential in our wardrobe, especially while we're staying home right now.

Can you talk us through your journey to sustainability as a brand? When did you start & how did this evolve for you guys?
The brand began by selling vintage t-shirts years ago and has slowly evolved into a sustainable brand. We launched our Dress Clean initiative in early 2018; we committed to strictly using natural fibers including GOTS certified organic cotton, as well as low impact dyes. We are on a mission to clean up the fashion industry from toxic materials and dyes that are harmful to people and the planet. Furthermore, we have a super localized supply chain and produce all of our product within a 10 mile radius from our HQ in Los Angeles.
