This pre-order is special, serving two very important purposes:

First, it marks the launch of our very first style made overseas — the green striped pants! To make this happen with our brand new, amazing production partners in India, we need to reach a minimum of 150 orders.

Second, this launch is also a personal fundraiser. For the past two years, I’ve been living with ME/CFS, a chronic illness that requires a lot of rest to manage. My doctors have recommended stepping back completely to give my body a real chance to heal. But as a single mom, the financial strain of taking that time has been incredibly tough. The funds raised from this pre-order will help support me over the next six months.

These pants have been a true labor of love — I’ve spent the past year slowly and intentionally designing them with Lynn, my longtime pattern maker. To ensure top quality, I’ve brought on a trusted friend and experienced production manager, and we chose a factory in India that we’re really proud to partner with. (Click here to learn why we love working with them.)

While our minimum is 150 pairs, I’m dreaming of reaching 500–1000 — like we did back before the pandemic. I believe we can do it, with your support.

And one more special touch:

For every pair sold, $5 will be donated to The Joyful Heart Foundation, supporting survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse on their path to healing. I am a survivor myself and this cause is close to my heart.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your support means so much to me.

With love,
Whitney
