Our Story
Ivy was born from one woman's refusal to compromise.
After twelve years as a fashion buyer, Sally knew the industry intimately, yet when motherhood transformed her daily reality, she couldn't find what she desperately needed. Tired of choosing between ethics and excellence, between sustainability and the perfect fit, she created what didn't exist: super comfortable, organic cotton essentials that understand the quiet confidence of a woman who wants to feel effortlessly good.
"No matter how hard I looked, I could not find a clothing brand that ticked all the boxes on my t-shirt checklist. Surely it could not be that hard to create good quality, sustainably made t-shirts from earth-kind materials, which weren't covered in fussy detailing (that dated them after a single season), didn't shrink or distort in the wash and didn't pill after just a few wears??"
These pieces are the punctuation marks in your personal style story. Each piece in the Ivy family is named after the important women and girls in Sally's life, crafted with the precision of someone who actually wears them. T-shirts that hold their shape through countless washes, sweatshirts that feel like a trusted friend, the perfect Breton stripe cut to flatter real bodies living real lives.
Responsibly made by our Portuguese factory family who share our values around sustainability, people and innovation; social responsibility, fair wages, solar power, LED lighting, bio laundry, zero waste to landfill. Obsessively perfected through GOTS-certified organic cotton that saves 1,982 gallons of precious water per t-shirt while delivering the incredible softness and comfort Ivy is known for.
Designed to be the reliable essentials in your everyday wardrobe, the foundation pieces that make everything else work better.
From one mother's morning frustration to a growing community of women who've discovered that getting dressed can feel effortless when you finally have clothes that truly understand you. Because the most radical thing you can do is refuse to settle for almost-right.
Ivy. The clothes that get it.
