Lacson Ravello
Lacson Ravello is a small-capsule clothing brand that is thoughtful in every aspect of our business. From our local design and production to our responsibly sourced materials, to our timeless fit and styles, we are mindful makers. Our clothing assures women that there is a brand that fits their bodies and their lifestyle. When they can often feel lost in a sea of fast fashion choices, we exist to make women feel seen, empowered, and confident.
Workspace
I work out of our detached home studio located in North Oakland—where I sketch, design, draft patterns, cut/sew samples, and more. My husband John of Bespoke Watch Projects (also a Bay Area Made brand) shares the space, which allows us to collaborate, bounce ideas off each other, and blast our favorite 80’s music. The natural light is great, the high ceilings are lofty, and the morning commute is rather easy.
Production Model
Slow fashion, small-batch production. Our pieces are made in Oakland. This is our way of ensuring you get something that is well-made using quality materials.
Tools
At the studio, I have single needle, overlock, and double needle sewing machines. We work with locally owned cutting and sewing factories that use industrial grade equipment.
Materials
With every new design added to our collection, we make a concerted effort towards sustainability. We are committed to using natural, earth-friendly, and organic textiles and trims. Some of our favorite materials include bamboo, organic cotton, hemp, deadstock fabrics and corozo nut buttons.
