Anna Chambers-Goldberg started ACG in 2013. This clothing line is an extension of her lifelong passion for sewing, with her fine art training contributing greatly to her process and inspiration.

All pieces in this collection are made by hand in Minneapolis, MN. Materials are chosen for their superb texture and quality and are sometimes up-cycled or vintage. This results in high-quality, very limited editions, including one-of-a-kind pieces. We believe this adds originality and integrity to the designs.

ACG is committed to the future of ethical fashion. We keep our waste to an absolute minimum, sourcing our fabrics as carefully as possible and saving our fabric scraps to be remade into usable textiles.

Some materials are hand-dyed, hand-woven, or hand printed. These pieces show off the beautiful variations inherent in hand-made processes. When possible the dyes are sourced from environmentally -friendly suppliers. Although everything is done by hand, which can take a lot of time, we try to keep the prices out of the sky. We do not wish to exclude anyone from access to our products. We price everything as low as possible to keep our business going while attempting to please customers from all walks of life.

Megan-Ilene is a zero waste, biodegradable clothing brand and Megan Lagueruela is a fiber artist who makes clothes.

~~All materials used are biodegradable (many are compostable) and many are organic (no pesticides are used to facilitate growing or harvesting).

~~All dyes used are either natural or low impact synthetic with a focus on low immersion techniques to prevent water waste and are safe for our city water reclamation.

~~All patterns are either designed to prevent textile off-fall or any fiber waste is reconfigured, reused or revitalized creating a closed loop, zero waste system.

~~All silhouettes are forgiving and functional, and are meant for a myriad of body types, shapes and genders.

~~All items are made in North Carolina and produced by entities receiving a fair, livable wage.

By creating items that can be worn a myriad of ways and utilizing materials that are ultimately safe for Earth's reclamation we aim to change the thought process one utilizes with purchasing goods.

It is our hope that by producing and consuming mindfully, we can focus on craftsmanship, reduce waste, and create truly impeccable clothing for the discerning customer.

Rachael Levine is a textiles artist with a focus on Shibori and fabric dyeing. She has been a working artist since Fall of 2014 and graduated with a BFA in Fashion Design from Columbia College Chicago. Rachael's love of clothing construction and manipulating textiles has blossomed into an art-to-wear collection called ARAE. The word ARAE comes from Rachael's nickname, Rae, and the word 'array' - an impressive display of things. Under her brand, she works with different kinds of silk and cotton gauze to create her various styles of Kimonos, scarves, and tops. She also works with boiled wool, which she Shibori dyes then cuts and sews into soft accessories such as gloves, scarves, and hats. ARAE is sold in many independently owned boutiques and museum shops across the US as well as handmade shows, and online with large retailers such as Artful Home, Uncommon Goods, and Free People. Rachael loves creating pieces of wearable art that allow her customers to express their own creative styles with every wear.

Allison Koon makes modern clothing using traditional quilting techniques. This collection is inspired by the image of well-loved vintage textiles hanging out to dry in the sun: bright, airy, and comforting. With details like frayed edges, patchwork-inspired piecing, and coconut-shell buttons, each garment has a story to tell. Each piece is handmade in her home studio in Saint Paul and is made to last. Over time, the cotton fabric will grow softer and conform to the wearer’s body.

Allison has a BFA in Studio Art and Art History from St. Olaf College and has been sewing since she was a child. She hopes you enjoy wearing these pieces as much as she enjoyed making them.

Born and raised in Japan, she studied textile and fashion design in Tokyo. Eventually, she had her own lines of clothing - mostly women's casual wear.
She likes to create unique pieces which flatter and adorn the body. She gets inspiration from her observation of life and nature around her.
