Origins
My passion for ethical fashion was ignited at a young age. In the sixth grade, my father shared an article with me that exposed my favorite brand for using sweatshops. I was heartbroken that I had unknowingly supported the oppression of vulnerable communities.
Through this experience, I discovered my life’s purpose—to change fashion for the better. After spending most of my career working in fashion, and learning the impacts of it, I decided to do something about it. In 2018, I moved from my native California to Milan in order to pursue my MBA and build a sustainable fashion startup.
Values
As a fashion brand, maintaining high standards of quality is our way of showing respect to our customers.
As a working mom, creating clothing that is fierce, functional, and free of toxic chemicals is my way of passing on a better world to future generations.
The Vision
We are intent on making thoughtful products that solve, rather than create, problems.
Our long-term goal is to build regenerative hemp farms, cultivate our organic products from seed to suit, and capture as much carbon as possible in the process (hemp is a CO2 sink).
Learning the needs of our growing community is an essential step to creating better fashion. For this reason, we welcome feedback, questions, concerns, and design ideas. If you find yourself looking for a specific product but can never find it, tell us about it. Maybe we’ll design it and give you the prototype!
Drop us a line; we would genuinely love to hear from you.

Italian Craftsmanship
Being based in Italy, we have the privilege of working with some of the most talented tailors, weavers, and fabric producers in the world. We have access to the finest hemp fabrics, created out of a passion for reviving this ancient textile.
We are proud to collaborate with our suppliers and producers, family-owned businesses that have been passing down the love and mastery of their craft for generations.
