Production Coordinator

About Us

We create clothing for women with a relentless emphasis on fit, details, and quality. Tradlands is all about our customers, the woman who knows that quality is always in style, and who knows that one great piece can make a whole outfit. The woman who cares about where her clothes come from, how they’re made, and how her choices impact her community. The woman who wants her clothes to last the seasons with her, to look and feel as good in five years as they did the day she bought them.

The amount of care shown in creating great products is always reflected in the attention to detail. There is a clear difference between a shirt bought at a fast-fashion retailer and a shirt purchased from us. That difference is hidden in every detail. From the fabric to the trims to the person who stitched it together, a garment can either be painfully poor in quality or it can exude care and thoughtful construction.

Each new product, like our business, is developed slowly and sustainably. We obsessively engineer each detail and refine our customer favorites every year. When great features come together you will immediately sense the subtle quality that stems from a balance of design, construction, and finely crafted components.
