  The clothing we buy and wear plays a huge role in our current climate crisis, and the U.S. government has yet to acknowledge, place restrictions, or impose regulations on the fashion supply chain. As a consumer myself, I realize that industries have no choice but to respond to our actions and demands. So I have made it my personal and professional mission to educate, empower, and inspire individuals to shop for apparel in line with their values and view each dollar they spend as a vote for the world they want to live in. As a business, we aim to lead by example from day one, proving it can (and should) be done in a better way, a more ethical and compassionate way, even if there are no-legal mandates in place at this time. Our voices are loud, and we only plan on getting louder. Ultimately, we hope to create enough noise to give us the opportunity to propose legislation to put the proper oversight in place in order to make significant social, economic, & environmental strides for generations to come. I encourage people to curate a wardrobe that builds a better foundation & future. One that feels good. Show less
