art & eden

Company Background

art & eden is a sustainable and decidedly unconventional children’s fashion brand born from the question: how can business be used as a force for good? Everything they make and do is a response to that question, taking a holistic approach to sustainability, including all touch points- from creation, to product, to consumer, and beyond. art & eden produces its clothing with organic and recycled fabrics and safe dyes. They partner with mission-aligned factories and employ a cradle-to-cradle approach, aspiring to make each product reusable, recyclable, or decomposable.

art & eden is a best in class solution for parents of young kids that seek sustainable solutions for their children.  

Letter from the Founder & CEO:

art & eden was born out of a personal breakthrough, my slow yet sudden awakening from 20+ years as a driven entrepreneur in global and corporate fashion. I had spent decades ‘turning a blind eye’ to the environmental and worker abuse rampant in the apparel industry. I used to rationalize: “The problems are interwoven into the system. They’re too big for me to solve.” I hoped somebody else would do something about these issues. I focused solely on my goal of maximizing profits. It wasn’t until visiting a school in rural India to help feed undernourished children — a small give-back program I began at a past company — that I had a complete collapse of perspective. Those children, combined with two formative books about entrepreneurship and art, unlocked something in me that changed me forever. From that day forward, I realized that changing the world started with changing myself. There was no waiting for someone else to fix the problems. I was that somebody I hoped for, fully capable of doing something that mattered. I could not simply return to business as usual and pretend that everything was okay. I had to find a better way. After two years of research, incredible community support, and a whole lot of heart, we launched art & eden in January.Grounded in sustainability and in being better for this world, everything we do is to care for this earth — our natural eden — and all her beings. I welcome you to join our journey on the path of intentionality and significance.
