WANTED: Cool, comfortable clothes, socially conscious designers, and a great story.
To find? Look no further than Sublet Clothing, a great New York clothing company with close ties to the environment, the community… and of all things, Craigslist!
After responding to a Craigslist sublet posting during college, Inessah found herself dragging two suitcases up three flights of stairs to meet her new roommate, Tara. Finding themselves with a lot in common such as Inessah being unable to find a more permanent place, and Tara living her motto,
“The more the merrier,” the initial two weeks turned into three months.Two years later, after having worked traditional careers, Tara and Inessah missed the spontaneous community, independence and creativity they felt when subletting. So over lunch one day, they decided they would create their own permanent sublet through Sublet Clothing.
I love the Amirah dress! Can’t you just picture me walking down the beach in Jamaica, the wind blowing through my hair, sipping some fruity drink in this flowy little dress? I can… but alas, now I must go to work.
