ACE & JIG is based in Brooklyn, New York, and Portland, Oregon, and is composed of Cary Vaughan and Jenna Wilson, who met more than ten years ago as fashion design interns and instantly bonded over their shared love of antique textiles.. In 2009, the designers set out to create a seasonless women’s collection from one fabrication: their own yarn-dye, woven fabric. Their search for the ideal manufacturer led them to India, where they found experienced textile specialists weaving on ancient wooden hand looms.
Their indian partners share their core values and practice the holistic kaizen philosophy of continuing to improve. Not only do they provide free childcare, but they also use reclaimed water to grown organic produce for their employees.
