About us
When we started Girlfriend Collective, our first goal was to be as transparent as possible. So many companies tout transparency but only offer flashy headlines instead of substance. We chose every part of our process, from our raw materials to our facilities to our partners, with care. We also discovered quickly that high end fit and feel is not a matter of cost, it’s a matter of time. We take the time to make sure every single one of our designs is so beautiful that you won’t cycle through it the next time you look through your closet. Beyond that, we wanted to find a community of people who cared about where their clothes come from as much as how they look. We're lucky to have found you. Take a look around, we're glad you're here.

Honored to be included alongside amazing brands and partners in Rebecca Deczynski's urgent piece. Thank you SuperCircle for making it all happen—the dream of circularity across the fashion industry as a whole feels excitingly tangible with your community.
I've been wanting to write this story for a while. Think about your wardrobe. How many t-shirts do you have that you wore once for a charity event and left languishing in a drawer? How many things did you order online and keep—despite not fitting quite right—just because you didn't feel like returning them? How many outfits do you have that felt perfectly on-trend for one glimmering moment in time and which you don't dare wear again? The truth is, a lot of us have too many clothes. And while you think you may be doing good when you donate a bag of clothes to your local Goodwill, the truth is that the vast majority of clothing ends up in the same place: the landfill. And it's not just because people are shopping more; the nature of clothing manufacturing means that excess garments are constantly produced and added to the ever-growing pile. So, how do we fix this system? By creating a circular economy—one in which valuable resources aren't discarded but reused, recycled, downcycled, and, most importantly, kept out of landfills. Getting there, though, is quite nuanced. And what we mean when we talk about recycling isn't always so straightforward. In my latest for Inc. Magazine, I do my best at unpacking it all. Thank you to Tim Crino for editing this piece, and thanks to Chloe Marie Songer and Stuart Ahlum of SuperCircle, Rachel Van Metre Kibbe of ACT (American Circular Textiles) and CSG (Circular Services Group), Kristy Caylor of Trashie, Luke Henning of Circ®, Lina G Londono of Debrand, Alexa Fagen of Girlfriend Collective, and Kathleen Talbot of Reformation for speaking to me about this complex subject. https://lnkd.in/eQQY7Hzz
