RISE (Reimagining Industry to Support Equality) is a multi-stakeholder initiative that advances gender equity in global supply chains by bringing together brands and manufacturers to implement worker-centered programs that strengthen agency, leadership, and well-being.

Made in a women owned or co-owned facility. As a women-run brand, we prioritize partnering with minority-owned facilities across our value chain.

Our eco-shippers are made from glassine (derived from 100% recycled content and a minimum of 90% post-consumer content) and are 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable. In 2022, we implemented the use of our glassine bags to ship our products as a next step in eliminating the use of plastic in our supply chain. The glassine bag is made with paper, cellulose, and vegetable ink, making it naturally compostable and easily curbside recyclable. The new bag meets the ASTM D6400 standard for certifying compostable products and, through testing, we’ve found that the new glassine packaging converted into compost in just 30 days, as compared to the 12 week requirement to meet this standard. These bags are shipped to our manufacturers and each garment you receive has made its journey from our manufacturing partners to your home in this one protective pouch, eliminating unnecessary packaging waste along the way.

We carefully choose the type and weight of fabric that we use for each of our designs. Each fabric varies in sheerness, depending on a number of factors including base color, print, weave, and weight. To help determine how sheer a garment will be, we've created a Sheerness Scale, with 1 being the most sheer and 6 being the most opaque. For those styles that fall on the more sheer end of the spectrum (1 or 2), we recommend layering over one of our viscose slips or slip skirts for additional coverage.

Our Heirloom garments are made with love and the intention to be collected and handed down for generations to come. The Heirloom styles are made in small batches and limited quantities due to the special techniques, processes, meticulous craftsmanship, and luxe fabrications. Each collection will include Heirloom styles and the items will be labeled as such.
