Ethical Elegance
Why is it important to us?
We believe that true SUSTAINABILITY is a shared effort.
As a small, in-house operation committed to carbon-neutral practices, we do our part with intention and care.
When individuals choose to consume consciously, valuing quality, longevity, and ethical production, each decision becomes a quiet act of change.
Together, these choices add up. And while we may not fix everything overnight, we can help ensure we're not making it worse.
With mindful effort, there’s hope: hope to preserve, to restore, and to keep this planet green for the next generation.
Creating with Purpose
Since our founding in 2007, we design and make each detail on every garment to have function & purpose; how the sleeve cuff is the right height and width stretches as it goes up on your arm for comfort and look, how the cowl neck isn’t close to you neck so it doesn’t make you hot, how our fabrics have high contrast prints especially in areas of you body you prefer to not highlight. We carefully plan and design and height of the waist, often using empire waist so it makes you look taller and leaner. The length of the sleeve is designed with caution as is the length of each garment, width of each place at different parts of the body.
We weave intention into every stitch so the clothes inspire, empower, and endure.
Sustainable
From first sketch to the last stitch we only work in house, thus minimizing the impact on our planet. Each square inch of fabric is used up, even the smallest scraps are donated to schools and children for art projects.
Our mission is to create with intention, crafting goods that tread lightly on the Earth while inspiring conscious connection.
We believe in preserving OUR PLANET by creating for a slower, more meaningful way of dressing with each garment designed with purpose. We believe in classic styles that honor craftsmanship, reducing waste, and restoring value to the things we wear.
We exist to design beautiful things that do no harm, honoring the Earth through ethical practices, sustainable materials, and a deep respect for what lasts.
We believe sustainability is not a trend, but a responsibility to the planet, to each other, and to future generations. Through ethical practices, mindful materials, and circular thinking, we’re building a future where style and stewardship go hand in hand.
In House Production
Since our founding in 2007 we have proudly maintained in-house production where every piece is designed, cut, sewn, and displayed under one roof in the studio. This vertical integration and hands-on approach allows for full creative control, minimal waste, and ethical, small-scale production. By keeping everything local and intentional, we reduce transport, avoid overproduction, and eliminate excess packaging creating beautiful clothing without contaminating the planet.
While mass production often prioritizes speed, volume, and profit leading to overproduction, waste, and questionable labor practices we chose a different path.
Every piece we make is designed, cut, and sewn in-house, right here in the USA. It’s a small-scale, one-of-a-kind process, rooted in mindfulness, fair labor, and attention to detail. This approach ensures a lighter environmental footprint and a garment you can truly feel good about wearing.
Mass production vs Small Scale in House
Zero Shipping Waste
During the design process, Csilla hand selects fabrics for the collections, already available on the open market. These are shipped to Austin in compostable cardboard boxes. Our team rolls up the fabrics onto sturdy paper rolls.
Each garment is hand cut and sewn together in-house.
Mailing and packaging materials for our clients are biodegradable paper boxes and we are looking into bamboo envelopes in the near future. NEVER PLASTIC.
“I believe in small-scale production, where quality, sustainability, and ethics come first, far from the pressures of mass manufacturing. Using eco-conscious practices, I strive to create clothing that not only looks beautiful but also respects the Earth.” Csilla Somogyi
