Sustainability / Philosophy

Philosophy

Corridor is a Brooklyn-based independent brand inspired by color, nature, music, spirituality, New York life, and the warmth of home. Our goal is to create transcendent clothing as spiritual expressions with universal meanings.

As a company we approach every step of our process with care and mindfulness: from our materials, to our workshop partners, to how we treat each other and our community. Through our work we strive to affect the world in positive ways. We take great pride in our partnerships with family-run workshops worldwide. 

Our work is to make the unseen felt by creating a palette of textures and weaving vibrations into cloth. We hope you use the pieces as tools for self-discovery, inspiration, and reminders of love. 

Lastly, we feel privileged to share our journey with you. Thank you for shopping or simply reading - we are grateful for you meeting us here.

Sustainability and Social Responsibility

Sustainability and responsibility are amongst our highest priorities. We strive to make conscious and mindful choices in both our personal and professional lives. It's very important to us that the choices we make affect the world in a positive way. We work with a certified (ISO-9001) and socially accountable (SA 8000) factory in India with on-site day care, full health benefits, retirement matching, and a women’s program for rehabilitation from domestic abuse. Most of our workshops are multi-generational family run workshops in India, Peru, Nepal, and the USA.

Each season we spend time visiting our workshops to ensure that they are compliant with environmentally-friendly policies. We use as many sustainable materials as possible and have moved away from plastic usage. All shirt bags and mailers are now biodegradable and our alpaca is sustainably harvested. We are now using undyed, unprocessed, organic knits from Peru from a women-owned workshop and a family-run factory. We strive to make Corridor more environmentally friendly with each season and to take care of the people who help create the garments.

Each product has a Responsibility tab which describes where, who and how each garment was made. Please email us if you'd like any additional information.

History

The brand’s name pays homage to both its origin story and inspiration. The Corridor studio is located in Brooklyn, and the brand remains proudly independent and principled in responsible production.
