The ethos of the company is that “everyday clothing is as important as the air that we breathe, the homes that give us shelter, and the food that gives us energy to live. Such a crucial everyday life necessity should be created with thought, quality, ethics, and love.” According to its website, this “comes from a desire to celebrate hope and beauty in everyday life.”

“In a world saturated with bland, mass-produced, cookie-cutter clothing made by slave labor overseas, Ivey Abitz garments are set apart from the fast-fashion rags clogging our landfills. They are thoughtfully designed, ethically made, and sewn to last,” its website states.

Collection Philosophy and Intent

According to the company, “The Ivey Abitz collection gives a nod to the past whilst looking ahead to the future. It’s about art elements that you can actually wear. It’s about designs that cover and flatter the body. It’s anti-generic garb. It’s an aesthetic. It has hints of classic and historic design elements, yet it has a voice all its own. It’s a celebration of life by getting dressed in something rare and special every day. It’s a state of mind.”

Fabric and Color

The Ivey Abitz color palette combines bold and sometimes subtle hues with strong lines, shapes,and textures found in landscapes and architecture. Fabric is gathered from England, Italy, France, India, and the U.S. to create a diverse collection.
