Local manufacturing in Los Angeles

Domestic manufacturing is a founding pillar of ocean+main. We proudly manufacture 100% of our garments in Los Angeles dramatically decreasing GHG emissions from transportation.

Upcycled and circular materials

Our primary fabrications are silk and cotton which we source locally from the upcycled market (excess textile waste) and from conscious suppliers. Using upcycled fabrics allows a portion of our collection to be circular requiring no virgin material, no additional water and no additional chemical treatments.

Water recycling in silk supply

All silk is sourced from mills that recycle 100% of their water. Our silk suppliers recycle 100% of their water and are OEKO-Tex-certified ensuring no toxins or dyes enter the ground or water table.
