About Atèlette
At Atèlette, our goal is to offer ethically and sustainably made clothing at accessible prices. We believe sustainability shouldn't be a luxury, and that you can enjoy beautifully crafted garments that feel good to wear and purchase without overspending.
Our close partnership with our manufacturer allows us to balance sustainability and affordability in every piece we create. We design many of our own prints, use deadstock fabrics and trims whenever possible, and streamline product development to reduce both our carbon footprint and costs. We also keep overhead low by avoiding extravagant offices, expensive photoshoots, and high-cost marketing, allowing us to focus on what really matters: providing you with thoughtfully made clothing you can feel great about that won't break your bank.
