Clay is a trained textile designer with extensive experience designing for a notable American jacquard weaving mill, and taught textile design at the Rhode Island School of Design and the University of Georgia's Lamar Dodd School of Art.
"How textiles are made matters" is central in our everyday conversations. This concept is key to how we source materials, weave our fabrics, and treat our employees. Every component plays an important role in producing the best possible product with the best intention."
Todd has over 20 years of experience in sales and business development for iconic brands such as Ralph Lauren, Etro, and Michael Smith Inc.
“We believe in the art of making; from concept to completion, what we do is truly an art and not a computer doing all the work. Our team has years of training; therefore, we weave with thought and integrity.”
In 2019 they purchased LA Mills, a boutique weaving mill in downtown Los Angeles. This acquisition connects the heritage of American weaving to the future and supports the craft and legacy of California weavers.
The fabrics are rooted in classic design and inspired by authentic American hard work, honesty, and independence values. The finest American wool, linen, and cotton are sourced for the fabrics staying true to the use of natural materials as a core value.
