Do Better
» Two Days Off clothing is made locally, in small batches in Los Angeles. “We have built a small but mighty team of creatives, entrepreneurs and artisans who all get paid a fair wage and whose talents are cherished. What people should know is that beautiful clothing doesn’t have to come at the cost of workers’ livelihoods or dignity—nor at the cost of our planet,” Stovall explains.
