Welcome to the Sustainability Hub
Learn how we’re helping you build a kinder wardrobe—one eco-friendly dress, top, and jumpsuit at a time.
“We’ve always had a deep reverence for the natural world. It inspired the names of our children—we named River + Sky after them—and we strive to honor the Earth in every aspect of our business.
After working in the conventional fashion world and seeing its environmental impact firsthand, we’re committed to creating clothing that’s gentler on the planet, from design to raw materials to production. And we’re always finding ways to further reduce our footprint as we grow.
Thanks for coming on this journey with us—here’s to creating a more conscious fashion industry together.”
—Caroline and Michael Keefer, co-founders of River + Sky

Yes, you're garments are priced higher than fast fashion. But there's a good reason for that.
SUSTAINABLE FABRICS
THE PROBLEM:
Cheap fabrics often come with a big environmental cost.
WHAT WE'RE DOING:
Our high-quality, sustainable fabrics cut down on water waste , CO2 emissions, microplastics, and energy use. They're not the cheapest, but they're the kindest we've found.
FAIR WAGES
THE PROBLEM:
Fast fashion often relies on cheap labor
WHAT WE'RE DOING:
We only work with factories that prioritize pay and safe working conditions even though they're more expensive.
LOCAL MANUFACTURING
THE PROBLEM:
Some brands cut costs by manufacturing overseas.
WHAT WE'RE DOING:
We choose to make our garments in Los Angeles. It costs more but helps us support our local artisans and cut down on transportation costs.
Local Manufacturing

All of our garments are designed, knit, cut, sewn, and dyed within a 20-mile radius in Los Angeles.
Ethically Crafted
We care about the people who make our clothes—and we only support family-owned factories that provide fair wages and safe working conditions.
