DESIGN SOMETHING

Ever come across a design you love but wish it was made sweatshop-free? Now you can get it! Elegantees founder Katie Martinez is a fashion design graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, and has 17 years of experience working in the New York fashion industry. Katie will love to work with you to design and manufacture your dream garment in Nepal or India!

HOW IT WORKS

1. Through dialogue with Katie, we'll start with your inspiration photos to talk through the design process.
2. Your design will be developed. You'll get a look at the process - as if you were on our team!
3. Of course, you'll get the top of production to keep for yourself in any of our color options. It will be delivered to you before it launches online.
4. The name of the style will be after you, or someone you'd like to honor. You can be anonymous, if desired.

To choose this option, add it to your cart, but do not add a discount code. Within a week of placing your order, Katie will personally email you to start the process.

REBUILD CAMPAIGN

The Rebuild Campaign exists because we are working on something new, and could use extra financial support to finish it.

At the beginning of this year, we had to close the doors to our previous setup. But close the business totally? No, the women in Nepal motivated me to rebuild. Ultimately, we couldn’t toss all the hard work that not only we put in, but what they put in too. We’ve been rebuilding.   

The best stories are to be told in this next chapter. We still believe that job creation is an amazing tool for survivors to overcome and be free forever! We're already seeing the seamstresses stronger than before. Truly, we are overcoming!!
