Prairie Underground!




A little bit about one of our favorite brands:

We have used sustainable and organic fabrics in every collection we have produced beginning with Summer of 2005. While it has always been a part of our business ethic to incorporate these materials we have shied away from describing ourselves exclusively as an eco line because that only describes a part of our business. We want to be a populist line so matters of accessibility, economy, domestic production and style are all a part of our design philosophy. We are also designers with an idiosyncratic point of view, obsessive about fit and how our end user will wear our clothes every day. We want to make non-conformist uniforms for cool working women.


We produce and ship every item in the collection, none of the clothing we show is for editorial only and all styles are available in stores, even if that means cutting 20 pieces. This business supports us entirely, and is helping to keep active a diminishing network of sewing contractors in Seattle. All of our production is subcontracted to local sew shops and the majority of our fabric is knitted in the United States.
