Shaina Mote

Shaina Mote crafts their pieces with French seams, which takes twice as long to sew as the standard overlock seams (and are therefore much more expensive), but yield an incredibly durable and strong garment that is built to last

All Shaina Mote woven garments are designed, developed, and made in their hometown of Los Angeles. With this, they are able to support the skilled craftsmanship in their local community while affording the opportunity to have hands-on oversight through our entire design process. Shaina Mote partners with a women-run and owned workshop in Peru utilizes skills native to Peru, specifically utilizing skilled labor in Arequipa area in Lima for weaving and knitting. By supporting traditional skills, and employing these women, they can preserve their craft and make a stable income

Shaina Mote designs their pieces to last a lifetime — with proper care and attention, we envision them as future heirlooms, intended to be worn, loved, and passed down
