I spent my early twenties buying from popular stores and wearing clothing I was uncomfortable in. When it came to wearing those garments on repeat, they fell apart after a couple of washes, often with seams stretched and fabric pilling. The items I loved were usually vintage, thrifted from the men's section and resized with my sewing machine at home. Like many women I tired of chasing the churn of fast fashion styles. Staying on top of trends was exhaustive and expensive.

I always found myself drifting to the menswear aisles. I noticed the clothing looked and felt classic, fabrics were durable, and details simple and considered. I didn't see the same options for women and, from that missing space, Tradlands was started in 2012.

Rather than taking cues from the runway or trends, I focused on perfecting essentials for women, inspired by thoughtful tailoring, expert details, and quality fabrics. A modern approach to foundational pieces that become the canvas of your wardrobe and personal style. That remains the heart of every Tradlands garment. Clothing to make you feel like yourself, however you choose to wear it.

This brand started from what was missing but Tradlands is built by our passionate community and remarkable team. It’s your energy, feedback, and enthusiasm that has made this brand what it is. You are who we are. What I’ve learned is so many women are frustrated with disposable fashion and looking for something better. We’re here to give you just that.
