MY 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. 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 story travelling with every piece.

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.

What customers say after wearing Transcend
I love this jacket and so does everyone else when I wear it! I get compliments every single time I have it on … and I’m not just talking about friends! People stop me on the street!!
I realized I left my jacket in my checked luggage and was rather chilly at SEATAC. I found Transcend and fell in love with one of the jackets. As [I] walked through the airport, I received a lot of unsolicited compliments making me feel very good about my purchase. So good, in fact, I bought another one when I came through the same airport on the way home!
I saw this dress on display at Pacific Northwest Climate week and was immediately drawn to it - not only for it’s style, but also the creativity and local craftsmanship involved in taking it from upholstery sample "waste" to a one-of-a-kind work of art. Also, POCKETS! … Nazia and the team at Transcend were patient and thoughtful, going above and beyond to make sure this dress was a perfect fit.
Love the sustainability and unique aspect of every piece! All the bombers are reversible and it’s a great way to pack light - two completely different looks from one item.
This jacket is awesome! Bought it as a gift for my young adult son and he loves that it's reversible! It's so well made with great attention to detail. … We love that it's a unique piece and not fast fashion! He'll have this jacket for years to come.
This jacket is perfect -- I loved choosing between the many patterns available. But beyond that, it is so soft to wear and absolutely the perfect weight for the cooler parts of Seattle summer.
