Conscious Creation
Utilize only existing materials - vintage, deadstock in the design elements of its clothing. Focus on perfecting the fit and creating heirloom quality garments with meaning. Repair or upcycle garments from within the Atelier or when a client wants to revive a piece from their closet. Breathing new life of what could have been thrown away.
We are all creators
Cultivate a community of creativity and inspiration regardless of socio-economic background. Turning the consumer into the creator through tools of education, expression and freedom.
A home for all
Diversity and inclusion are a priority for the Atelier staffing. We make space for the underserved communities who have great skills and will add to the creative work culture of the Atelier. We are curating a team with positions of dignity based on their talent while offering living wages, apprenticeships, and health benefits to all in-house staff.
Lifting the veil
Expose the people behind the creation of clothing and acknowledge them for their craft. Spotlighting the entities that played a part in each creation that comes out of the Atelier, including the client. As we partner with global artisans and creators our mission is to share the richness of their cultural heritage and support the development of their own businesses.
