To my sweet friends,

It’s time to say farewell to Pair Up — to take a step back and reassess how I want to grow as a designer and creator. It’s been an incredible seven years, but I’m ready to explore new opportunities and shift my focus.

Of course, I’m sad—it’s hard to let go of something you’ve poured your blood, sweat, and tears into. But I’m also very proud. I built a beautiful brand from the ground up and discovered a deeper passion for design and craftsmanship. While Pair Up is coming to an end, my love for making and creating remains stronger than ever—and that will never change.

I’m excited to spend the next few months putting the finishing touches on everything, updating my portfolio, and figuring out what’s next for me. If you want to stay in touch, you can follow along on my personal account, @emmadime.

An endless thank you for supporting my little corner of the world.

With love and gratitude,
Emma <3

HYPER
LOCAL

Nearly everything we do is contained to one small area of southern California—our design studio, our fabric suppliers, and sewing factories. Why is this important? Not only does this play a large roll in keeping our carbon footprint as small as possible but we also love supporting our beautiful state’s economy.

RECLAIMED
TEXTILES ONLY

In an attempt to extract as few resources from the Earth as possible, we only use upcycled and deadstock materials. This helps reduce environmental waste by repurposing surplus materials that might otherwise end up in landfills, while also conserving resources required for new textile production.

SMALL
BATCH

We maintain a small inventory of our bestsellers, but once these are sold out, each piece is cut and sewn upon order. Producing garments on demand allows us to significantly reduce waste associated with overproduction and excess inventory, ensuring that we only create what is truly loved and needed.

WASTE
PROGRAM

You’d be surprised how much fabric is leftover after cutting a garment. We do our best to design and layout our patterns for maximum efficiency but there’s still loss. We feel it’s our responsibility to deal with this waste, so we've designed a few products that are sewn almost completely from these remnants.

“Such a fan of Pair up! The matching sets are totally my jam and I’m always receiving compliments from strangers when I wear them. The attention to detail, sustainable mindset and creativity in every single creation make them my go-to outfits and a brand I’d love to support forever!"

"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)!”
