Transcend Signature
America Dress
Distinctive by design. Made with purpose.
Craft meets couture in the breathtaking America Dress, a true labor of love meticulously crafted using the traditional basket weaving technique. Every panel is handwoven from upcycled textile strips, forming an intricate, structured silhouette that’s both sculptural and wearable. The result is a one-of-a-kind dress that tells a story of patience, precision, and the power of slow fashion.
This statement piece features a tailored 1950s silhouette that accentuates the waistline, offering a modern take on heritage craftsmanship. It’s 40 hours of artistry you can wear.

Why Transcend
What makes Transcend different
Natural fibers when new
When we make with new fabric, we choose natural fibers. Reclaimed textiles preserve useful material already in circulation.
Small-Batch Exclusivity
Small-run production reduces waste and ensures your look remains truly unique.
Modernized Heritage
Ancient artisan techniques are reimagined into wearable, contemporary silhouettes for the modern wardrobe.
In-House Circularity
Our Seattle studio provides alterations and upcycling to transform the clothes you already own.
Questions, answered.
It depends on the piece. Bombers, coats and upcycled styles cut from reclaimed and vintage textiles are made once, in the size shown — when one sells, it is gone and cannot be remade. Other styles are made in small batches from new natural fibers. The product description tells you which.
Eligible items can be returned within 30 days. If you love the piece but the fit is close, our Seattle studio can alter it — get in touch and we will advise before you decide.
When we make products from new fabric, we choose natural fibers. Some reclaimed, vintage or deadstock textiles may contain existing synthetic fibers; reusing them keeps useful material in circulation.
Every Transcend piece is artisan made — by our makers in Seattle or by artisan and production partners in India, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan. Each product page identifies the material and making story for that piece.
We produce in small batches and offer in-house repairs and upcycling to keep your garments in circulation longer.
