BETTER OPTIONS 

Select Style Over Fashion

YSL (Yves St Laurent) said it best “Fashions fade, Style is eternal” Our Co-Founder Celeste's favorite quote on style.

“Proportion is everything” Perry Ellis  Our Co-founder Anthony’s favorite fashion quote

“Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma.” John Fairchild Our All-Star Mitch’s favorite style quote

Buy better; Buy Less. Wear it until it’s worn out. Wash Responsibly.

CIVIC DUTY/LOCAL PRIDE
Save The Garment Center (founding board members)
“There is no other Garment Center in the world like ours
The Garment Center is the soul of Midtown NEW YORK CITY
and the backbone of the NYC fashion industry” STGC

By working locally, we are RESTORing jobs. According to the NYIRN (New York Industrial Retention Network), for every manufacturing job created 1.7 jobs are created in other sectors.

Based on numbers from Civic Economics, an estimated .68 of every dollar spent at a locally owned business stays in the community, while only .43 stays when spent at a chain. BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies)


ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

Ambassador Volunteers for Riverkeeper the model for The Waterkeeper Alliance.

“We live along the Hudson River. We see it everyday; it is both our source of sanity and connection to nature in the chaos of New York City. Since we work in an industry that adds to the pollution of our precious rivers, we wanted to do something to counteract that. We identified an organization that was making a huge difference and began to volunteer for them “– Riverkeeper.

“According to the World Bank, 20% of industrial fresh water pollution comes from textile treatment and dyeing” eco360.me

We also mitigate this harm by working locally with thanks to the Clean Water Act.
