About & Give Back
Kimberly Becker was trained as a textile designer at the Rhode Island School of Design and upon graduation, she was submerged in the fashion industry working in the garment district of NYC. She went on to train to become a professional stitcher at Ecole Lesage, a haute couture embroidery school in Paris.
She is a fierce feminist who believes we must lift women up all around the world. She funded the installation of schoolyard bathrooms for girls in Uganda. This kept these promising young women from dropping out at the age of 12 when they began menstruating. She also uses here artist training to create "House Dresses", diaphanous flowing dresses that share women's stories of being marginalized by society simply for being born female.
Five percent of the profits from this clothing line will be donated to the Brigid Alliance, an organization that helps women who need an abortion to safely be transported to and receive the medical care necessary.
A bit about our values and our efforts to lower our carbon footprint...
- We sew all garments in New York’s Garment District. This greatly reduces the distance we are shipping garments before they reach the customer.
- We have our knitwear made in a factory in Brooklyn that uses 3D knitting machines which produces zero waste in the manufacturing.
- We offer a buy-back program for our garments. Send your K. Becker garments back, you receive a 30.00 credit toward a future purchase, and we clean and mend them and then re-list at a discount on the website. Committing to a circular lifespan for our garments keeps them out of landfills.
- We use high quality materials and sewing techniques to insure that our clothing lasts for many years.
- We manufacture in small batches which results in less garments ending up unsold and needing to be disposed of.
We give 5% of all profits to the
BRIGID ALLIANCE
A non- profit that supports women's health.
They work with individuals and communities disproportionately affected by abortion restrictions: women living at or below the federal poverty line, people of color, minors, undocumented immigrants, people living in communities with limited transportation infrastructure, individuals living in states hostile to women’s healthcare, disabled people, survivors of abuse, and those who rely on Medicaid or are uninsured.
