Started in California in 2014 by founder Joanna with a small collection of handmade, linen dresses, Pyne & Smith Clothiers creates timeless, all natural fiber garments, inspired by British heritage & California ease.
The journey of a Pyne & Smith dress begins in a flax field in Europe. All of our linen garments are made from 100% fine European flax linen. Our garments are sewn to last - cut and sewn in a small, family owned and operated sewing workshop in Los Angeles.
We know our manufacturers personally, they are small, family run businesses who we visit regularly. We cut and sew our dresses to a high quality with longevity in mind, using small batch production.
We take a thoughtful and meticulous approach to our designs. Our linen fabric colors and patterns are custom designed and exclusive to Pyne & Smith! Our linen is made from OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, sustainably grown European flax in Lithuania (grown with rainwater). Each linen thread is dyed prior to weaving, so the patterns are woven in rather than dyed onto the fabric.
We take chemicals seriously - our dyes adhere to social, economic and ethical standards required by EU laws. We don't use any harmful chemicals, dyes or softeners in our production when dyeing, weaving or washing. All our chemical suppliers are certified under REACH standard and other necessary EU laws that don't use hazardous substances.
Our packaging is environmentally responsible, both compostable and recycled.
