But what does that even mean?
HYPER
LOCAL
Nearly everything we do is contained to one small area of southern California—our design studio, our fabric suppliers, and sewing factories. Why is this important? Not only does this play a large roll in keeping our carbon footprint as small as possible but we also love supporting our beautiful state’s economy.
RECLAIMED
TEXTILES ONLY
In an attempt to extract as few resources from the Earth as possible, we only use upcycled and deadstock materials. This helps reduce environmental waste by repurposing surplus materials that might otherwise end up in landfills, while also conserving resources required for new textile production.
SMALL
BATCH
We maintain a small inventory of our bestsellers, but once these are sold out, each piece is cut and sewn upon order. Producing garments on demand allows us to significantly reduce waste associated with overproduction and excess inventory, ensuring that we only create what is truly loved and needed.
WASTE
PROGRAM
You’d be surprised how much fabric is leftover after cutting a garment. We do our best to design and layout our patterns for maximum efficiency but there’s still loss. We feel it’s our responsibility to deal with this waste, so we've designed a few products that are sewn almost completely from these remnants.

“We love Pair Up for the fresh take on sustainable fashion. It’s playful and stylish!

✺ Emily Katz
"I am obsessed with the quality of my set. It's a lighter color and there’s none of that see-through business! They are so comfy and breezy for warm weather.”

✺ Micaela Hoo
“I have a Pair Up piece on every single day, that’s how comfortable and easy they are. And knowing they’re made of deadstock and recycled fabrics gives me peace of mind, knowing I’m not contributing to more waste.”

✺ Chelsea Fullerton
“Adding Pair Up pieces to my wardrobe has been a game changer. It’s hard to decide but my favorite piece is probably the wide leg pant (I have 4 pair)!”

MEET the (tiny) TEAM
There's only two of us, and we like it that way. We work out of our San Diego based studio, to create (almost) everything you see in the shop.We take pride in owning the majority of the production process and hope you can feel the love we pour into our work.

CURATED and MODIFIED
Our Curated Collection houses unique vintage and second-hand pieces we have sourced and enhanced by hand. Some are ready to wear just as they are, while others have had small repairs like patching a hole or replacing the buttons. They're read for a new home.
