  Co-Founder of Brooklyn based loungewear brand Vestment. Inspired by ceremony and religion-specifically Catholicism (my co-founder's mother was a nun) we create unisex luxury loungewear that merges historic inspiration with modern art and fabrication. We are playing in the emerging category of loungewear that transitions easily from indoors to out. All products are made in the USA. We repurpose the excess fabric from production into one-of-a-kind Patchwork robes. Co-Founder of Brooklyn based loungewear brand Vestment.
