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. Local manufacturing with low minimums dramatically reduces overproduction and allows us to support this vital and creative industry right here at home.

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.

SB62 garment worker advocacy

We helped pass California’s SB62, legislation that protects garment workers and now serves as the framework for the national Fabric Act. Today, we are actively working with city leaders to protect the garment district from a rezoning effort which could decimate this vital ecosystem and put the entire Los Angeles apparel industry in jeopardy.
