Hi! My name is Eric, and I've worked in apparel for the past 15 years, mostly in corporate sales manager positions. In 2022, I decided that the time was right for me to start something of my own.
It's always bothered me that fashion is such a dirty business. Day-to-day, it's easy to forget about all of the pollution and human cost behind our clothes, but those problems don't go away on their own. I think we'd all like to change that, but we feel powerless to do anything about it.
My mission is simple: to bring sustainable and ethical fashion into the mainstream, and into people's communities. I believe you need to meet people where they are, and make it so that the right choice is an easy choice. That's why I've chosen to work with brands who have it all: styling, fit, quality, and price. If you were already looking for sustainable product, then these brands will make your day. If you weren't, then these brands will stand on their own merits, and the sustainable part is just a nice bonus.
I strongly believe in what we do in our industry. Local businesses like yours have an important role in our communities. They are places where we gather and get to know our neighbors, and I think this is more important now than ever.
My Brands:
Formerly called Skunkfunk, SKFK is a fiercely unique Spanish fashion brand whose look is design-driven, bold, and wearable. They have 13 stores of their own in Spain and France, and can be found in boutiques all across Europe. They've headlined Madrid Fashion Week for two seasons in a row, and were recently celebrated by the Balenciaga Museum, which put on a retrospective of their 25 year history. This is a brand that people are talking about.
They are leaders in the field of sustainability, using fair trade organic cotton, EcoVero viscose, and recycled fibres. The prints are hand-painted in-house, informed by the designer's fine arts background. It's hard to summarize SKFK or to pin down their look, as the collection is incredibly diverse, and so different from everything else on the market. I invite you to explore it yourself.
Premium sustainable denim for all bodies. Lola's aesthetic is classic denim, with a touch of fashion elegance. Their designer comes from a high fashion background, and you can see the sophistication in everything that they do: there are some cool details, but it's all about having a great pair of jeans that you will want to wear for years.
Lola hangs effortlessly next to established premium brands, despite our jeans starting at $120 retail. Our extended and open sizing runs from 24 - 42, because we believe that all women deserve to look and feel amazing.
Komodo is a contemporary brand out of London, offering both Women's and Men's fashions. They've been in business since 1988, and they've been doing ethical fashion since day one, so they were way ahead of the curve. It started out as a streetwear brand, but it's evolved into a more accessible everyday collection. Their look has become fairly clean, with a bit of edge and youthfulness.
Komodo is focused on natural fibres like organic cotton, tencel, and linen, and they work with a select group of carefully audited factories to ensure the wellbeing of the workers who make their clothes.
Colorful, casual, and fun, Tranquillo started out in 2002 as a small boutique in Dresden, Germany, and has grown into a powerhouse in both apparel and home goods. They take extra care to source sustainable materials such as organic cotton and ecovero viscose, and to only work with factories that provide fair working conditions for their employees.
Some retailers have embraced Tranquillo for their fun prints, others as a resource for inexpensive but high quality basic t-shirts and fun socks. I'm very happily surprised by just how strong a start we've gotten together.
