ORGANIC, SUSTAINABLE DESIGNER FASHION
Philadelphia, PA
Nicole Haddad has partnered with her brother Jordan to create a small boutique American fashion house, all produced here in the United States. From fabrics printed in a family-owned Los Angeles factory with organic inks, to the fabric being cut and sewn into clothing in a Philadelphia-based factory, each step is conscientious and seeks to make a new generation of sustainable, environmentally friendly fashion. All the pattern-making is done in-house by Nicole, who loves experimenting with new designs, and small launch batches are still sometimes all cut and sewn in-house.
