River + Sky
“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
