THE TRANSCEND DIFFERENCE
Clothing with a story worth wearing.
Expressive pieces for people who choose individuality over conformity, made through heritage craft, thoughtful production and materials selected with care.
THE STORY INSIDE THE CLOTH
A textile with history. A jacket with a future.
Our signature Kantha bombers begin with vintage hand-stitched textiles, then become reversible jackets designed to be worn your way. Every placement is different, so no two pieces are exactly alike.
Not every Transcend piece is upcycled. When we use new materials, we choose natural fibers and work in thoughtful, small batches.

OUR STORY
It started in a bazaar, with my mother.
I grew up in India going to the bazaars with my mother. We would pick out the fabric and the trims together, bring them home, and I would watch her cut and sew an outfit we had designed at the kitchen table. Natural fibers, hand embroidery, block prints — that was simply what clothes were.
When I moved to the United States at fifteen, all of that disappeared. Shopping meant the mall and fast fashion, and the artisan-made pieces I loved were nowhere to be found — and the artisans who made them had no way to reach people here.
I launched Transcend in 2020 to change that: one-of-one and small-batch pieces made from reclaimed textiles and natural fibers by artisans in India, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan and our own Seattle studio, paid fairly, with the maker's name and story travelling with every piece.
