Hello and welcome to the Santos by Monica Substack!
If you don’t know us… hi! We’re Santos by Monica, a Latina-owned sustainable brand located in the vibrant Lower East Side of Manhattan. We're all about slow fashion and creating meaningful connections with our community.
Our vision is to promote sustainable and responsible practices in fashion by incorporating timeless design, local production, unparalleled quality, and unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility. Through our innovative use of biomaterials and meticulous manufacturing processes that help reduce our material waste, we strive to set a new standard for eco-conscious luxury. In our fast moving world, we hope to cultivate a slower pace and challenge the current state of the fashion industry. We also aim to educate on consumption and resources used by the fashion industry. Creating personal connections with our consumers and brands will get them to rethink how fashion is practiced and reimagine change in the industry.
We're more than just a brand; we're a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about sustainable fashion and supporting local businesses. Whether you're a customer, an aspiring sustainable designer, or simply curious about sustainable fashion, this is the place for you. We hope you’ll join us as we share stories from our community in NYC and beyond!
Stay tuned for our first post, where we dive deeper into what makes Santos by Monica unique and the stories behind our community.
Love,
The Santos Team
