But what does that even mean?
HYPER
LOCAL
Everything we do is contained to southern California — our design studio, our fabric suppliers, and our sewing factory. Why does this matter? It plays a huge roll in keeping our carbon footprint as small as possible.
RECLAIMED
TEXTILES ONLY
In an attempt to extract as few resources from the Earth as possible, we only use reclaimed and upcycled textiles. Instead of ordering virgin materials from a mill, we source each roll in person at deadstock warehouses in Los Angeles.
SMALL
BATCH
Because of the nature of our fabric sourcing, everything we make is limited edition. Once that roll is gone, that's it! We keep a limited inventory on hand and everything else is cut and sewn when the customer orders it.
WASTE
PROGRAM
We can't bare to throw our cutting scraps away, so we've designed a few products that are sewn almost completely from these remnants. Inspired by patchwork techniques, we slowly piece them together into something new.

“We love Pair Up for the fresh take on sustainable fashion. It’s playful and stylish!

✺ Emily Katz
"I am obsessed with the quality of my set. It's a lighter color and there’s none of that see-through business! They are so comfy and breezy for warm weather.”

✺ Micaela Hoo
“I have a Pair Up piece on every single day, that’s how comfortable and easy they are. And knowing they’re made of deadstock and recycled fabrics gives me peace of mind, knowing I’m not contributing to more waste.”

✺ Chelsea Fullerton
“Adding Pair Up pieces to my wardrobe has been a game changer. It’s hard to decide but my favorite piece is probably the wide leg pant (I have 4 pair)!”

MEET the (tiny) TEAM
There's only two of us, and we like it that way. We work out of our San Diego based studio, to create (almost) everything you see in the shop.We take pride in owning the majority of the production process and hope you can feel the love we pour into our work.

CURATED and MODIFIED
Our Curated Collection houses unique vintage and second-hand pieces we have sourced and enhanced by hand. Some are ready to wear just as they are, while others have had small repairs like patching a hole or replacing the buttons. They're read for a new home.
