Sustainability

At Midnight Hour, we celebrate quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Our mission is to create sophisticated apparel that fits beautifully and stands the test of time. Each piece is crafted from premium materials that last, ensuring that they become cherished staples in your wardrobe for years to come.

In a world dominated by fast fashion, we take a different approach. Our ethos centers around quality, not quantity. We design versatile, timeless pieces that are made to last, steering clear of the disposable culture that leads to overflowing landfills. By producing limited quantities, we can test their appeal and ensure customer satisfaction before we make more. This commitment to quality means that many of our items sell out quickly, reflecting the demand for our thoughtfully crafted apparel.

It is also our mission to give back to the community. Any excess inventory, damaged items, or samples are donated to local organizations that we proudly support. This not only helps those in need, but also aligns with our mission to minimize waste. Proudly packaging most of our items in compostable bags made from corn, our goal is to completely move away from traditional plastic by 2026.

Lastly, a significant portion of our clothing is manufactured in local USA-based factories, allowing us to support the local economy and reduce our carbon footprint. Our production partners frequently undergo social compliance audits, in order to confirm that our workers are treated fairly.
