Our Mission:We believe in fashion- anindustry which values people, the environment,creativity and profits inequal measure, and it's everyone's responsibilityto ensure that thishappens(via fashionrevolution.com)
At Electric West, we stand with Fashion Revolution and fellow brands that choose ethical, sweatshop free, safe production, where workers earn a fair, living wage . We are excited to be a part of this revolution and share our production story with you!
Electric West, owned by Kelly Mancini, is a small, woman run business, based in San Diego, California. We work with a 13,000 sq foot factory in Vernon (Los Angeles), CA, that houses 10 employees, and produces every one of our t-shirts. Each tee is cut and sewn in our Vernon factory, then sent to our dye house, less than a mile away. Here it's dyed and pre- washed, before it's sent out for print. We work with 2 screen print facilities, in Los Angeles, where our tees are printed and pressed in small batches. Each shirt has a final quality inspection (in house), before it's shipped to you, from our headquarters in, San Diego.
We pride ourselves on providing vintage inspired, timeless tees, that will live in your closet for years, not just a season. It's our resistance against the world of fast fashion. By purchasing from Electric West, you are supporting a small, US company, and the ethical fashion movement.

Our story is about 3 best friends who live far from the beach so decide to have an Aussie backyard party and cool off in their tiny blow up pool. A trip to the local store to pick up few snacks and drinks and head back to have a few laughs and have some fun in the little pool and as Aussies do, have a bit of fun cooling off with the garden hose as well.” David Collier

We've got some serious May gray, going on today in San Diego. Luckily we're keeping the good vibes going in the office, with some sweet tunes. Here's a little playlist of some songs we're rocking out to...
