Ballet dancers started using "merde" for good luck in 19th-century Paris, when a full house meant a lot of horse manure ("merde") in front of the theater. Wishing someone "merde" was, therefore, a way of wishing them a well-attended performance. While the literal meaning has faded, the superstition of avoiding the phrase "good luck" endures, and "merde" is still used today by dancers before taking the stage. It also means sh*t in French!

Our manufacturer uses sustainable manufacturing processes with Blue Sign certified dyes, efficient dye houses that adhere to the state of California’s EPA regulations around wastewater treatment and usage and cutting facilities in Los Angeles that run on partial solar power with comprehensive recycling programs for paper waste and fabric scraps.

They design, dye, and cut most garments in the United States, particularly in facilities in Los Angeles and Alabama. However, the sewing of some products is split between the U.S. and Central America.

The company emphasizes its "USA Strong Production," which provides hundreds of jobs in the U.S. and includes facilities in California and Alabama.
