From a vintage silk sari to the Emmys red carpet
Thank you for finding us. Transcend is a Seattle clothing studio and store at Pacific Place. We make one-of-one and small-batch pieces from reclaimed textiles and natural fibers, and our in-house team alters, repairs, upcycles and custom-makes clothes for the people of Seattle.
The gown I wore to the Emmys was made right here, in our studio.

The Emmys gown
Two weeks, one sari, our Seattle team
The gown started as a vintage silk sari with a life of its own. Our artisans in Seattle took it apart, reworked it, fitted it and hand-embellished it over two weeks, turning it into something completely new for one red carpet night.
That is what we do every day: find the value already sitting in a piece of cloth, and give it a new life with the right idea and the right hands.

Every alteration, repair and custom piece that comes through our door is tracked in Transcend Hub, the system we built ourselves, from the moment you drop it off to the day you pick it up.
- Your own project portal with status updates, photos, quotes and messages in one place
- One conversation with our team across text, email and the portal
- A record of every garment we keep in use, so we can measure the textiles we keep out of landfills
