Why Manufacturing in the USA Still Matters
At Iris & Loom, every piece of knitwear is designed with intention—and that includes where it’s made.
In a time when most clothing is produced overseas, we choose to manufacture right here in the United States. Not as a slogan, but as a commitment to quality, responsibility, and the people behind the process.
A Human-First Approach
When your garments are made in the U.S., you know the hands behind them are treated with care and respect. Our knitwear is produced in New York by skilled craftspeople who take pride in what they make. It’s not fast fashion—it’s thoughtful, small-batch clothing that reflects real artistry.
Better Materials, Better Standards
Producing locally means we can work closely with our manufacturing partners and maintain high standards for materials and construction. It also allows us to stay transparent—when we say something is well made, we mean it. And we can show you how.
Lower Footprint, Less Waste
Because we make every piece to order, there’s no overproduction and no excess sitting in landfills. And by manufacturing in the U.S., we reduce the emissions and global shipping footprint common in fast fashion supply chains.
Why It Matters to Us
For us, American manufacturing isn’t about politics. It’s about values: quality over quantity, sustainability over speed, and connection over convenience. It means we can support local jobs, keep our process transparent, and create knitwear that feels as good as it looks.
