Lauren’s Italian great aunt Elia.
Made entirely in New York City.
Elia James is a fashion company based in N.Y.C., founded by native New Yorker Lauren Evans. Her clothes are manufactured in Tribeca, with fabric sourced primarily in the Fashion District of Midtown. Most garments are either made to order and/or one of a kind. Shopping locally manufactured clothes helps reduce pollution caused by the wastefulness of fast fashion and overseas shipping, ensures that you’re not supporting the exploitation of overseas workers, and supports numerous local businesses, which helps keep the heart of New York City beating.
