Spring 2025, Re-s1st: The Power of One

Re-s1st: The Power of One

Here you are again. At the start of a new adventure. Is it a small leap of faith or a life-changing decision? No matter—the feelings remain the same. Swirls of excitement. The thrill of possibility. And, if we’re being honest, the familiar shadow of self-doubt.

That last one? It’s the trickiest of them all. If you’re not careful, it lingers too long. Calls itself practicality. Wears the disguise of logic. But if left unchecked, doubt has a way of freezing you in place, whispering hesitation into the space where boldness should live.

And it was in this moment—on the edge of uncertainty—that our newest collection was born.

As last year drew to a close, we asked ourselves: What’s next? What is happening in fashion that moves us? What does it mean to be American crafted? What’s our take on relevant yet timeless design? And equally important—what story do we want to put into the world?

As we celebrate our fifth anniversary (we know, we can’t believe it either), that quiet voice of doubt crept in. Not loud enough to stop us, but just present enough to make us question: Is it special enough? Powerful enough? Bright enough? Good enough?

Then, like a gift from the universe, the perfect song found its way to us:

Maybe one day you’ll listen
To the small voices in your head
Not the ones that berate you
But the ones who call you friend

A powerful reminder that for every doubt we entertain, there’s an equally strong inner champion urging us forward. That we hold within us a quiet strength—one more powerful than we realize.

Because one lyric can shift a mindset.
One decision can spark a movement.
One act of courage can change everything.

And so, the conversation shifted from self-doubt to a call to Re-s1st.

Re-s1st the voice that keeps you stuck.
Re-s1st the replay of old challenges masquerading as truths.
Re-s1st settling for anything less than what sets your soul on fire.
Re-s1st expectations that keep you from your most authentic life.
Not for the sake of rebellion—but for the sheer joy of liberation.

With that, our vision for 2025 became clear. We chose not to rest but to push further. To create something new. Something intentional. Something that speaks in many voices but echoes the same truth.

A year of three collections—each distinct yet interconnected, each unfolding like chapters in a larger story.

What if we designed a collection around a single color—not once, but multiple times?
What if we stripped back the excess and focused on one meticulously crafted piece per product line?
What if we created stories that spanned four seasons instead of one?
What if each collection explored what happens when we choose to re-s1st whatever holds us back?

And so, that’s exactly what we set out to do.

Our hope? That these designs become more than just pieces in your wardrobe. That they become part of your story. That they ignite something within you—small at first, but growing. A quiet, undeniable force. A reason to step forward. A reason to Re-s1st.

Because one moment of defiance can lead to a lifetime of change.
One spark can set the whole world ablaze.

Welcome to Re-s1st: The Power of One.

We’re excited to take this journey with you.
