River Left

​

Her sleepwear brand, River Left, was founded after realizing that the options for women’s sleepwear are either overtly sexual or overly modest and unflattering. She set out to design classic sleepwear that is an empowering celebration of the female figure and offers women a fresh perspective on in home style. The environment and worker-wellbeing are at the forefront of her decision-making. Each item is intentionally designed with a timeless silhouette to be anti-fast-fashion and meant to last for seasons to come.
