Chava is a new-to-me family business and their story really resonated with me. Chava strives to “preserve some of the craftsmanship that goes into clothing: From fine fabrics developed by small mills to shirt making techniques that are difficult to replicate by commercial grade machines.” They produce less than 20 garments per week to ensure they allot time and care to every piece and the seamstresses work in an environment that values their skill and the time involved in production. In the world of America’s fast fashion consumerism, it’s a breath of fresh air to be reminded that places like this still exist.
