Why are your clothes so expensive?Updated a month ago

We believe in fair wages for everyone in the supply chain, in addition to using high-quality fabrics that are made to last.

To put it into perspective, bringing one garment into existence requires a supply chain of hundreds of people. From the farmers to yarn spinners, knitters to cutters and sewers, dye house workers to quality control, to our office with our designer and creative team, photographer, managers, sales agents, wholesalers, and website manager, along with shippers every step of the way… it’s not as simple as “hiring less people”. These jobs benefit the local community both in Los Angeles and Peru. Also, higher quality and sustainably made fabrics are more expensive. We believe in buying less and buying better, because fast fashion comes at a cost (both to the environment and to the workers). We recognize that our clothing is an investment for most, but we’d rather have someone buy one dress from us than ten dresses from a fast fashion brand. But as a consumer you have a choice, and we totally respect that.

We recognize that our clothing is an investment for most, and we are big fans of shopping secondhand. Every time you shop secondhand instead of new, you reduce carbon emissions by an average of 25% per wear. You can shop our line secondhand through (renew), our dedicated resale shop for buying and selling pre-loved Nation essentials.
