Christy Dawn

The Story

Slow and sustainable fashion. Every Christy Dawn piece is made by local artisans in Downtown Los Angeles, sewn with longevity in mind. We use deadstock fabric to minimise our environmental footprint, and instead of creating thousands of garments at a time, we sew a limited number of pieces for each look, numbering every dress we make.

It is no coincidence that Christy Dawn’s way of doing business closely resembles that of a dressmaker living in Placerville, CA a hundred years ago.

It’s my intention to create vintage-inspired pieces that speak of quality and craftsmanship. I hope you enjoy them as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them.

It’s what drew me to design vintage-inspired clothing. There is something beyond the fabric I can hold on to. Something honest about vintage. Something classic. Something timeless, that reminds me of home. It’s the dress you long for when you stumble upon that box of old photographs of your grandmother. The lines and fabric tell a story. They’re the clothes and stories I hope to pass on through Christy Dawn.
