Staying Strong During Wildfires: Supporting LA, Sustainability, and Our Planet

As wildfires rage across Los Angeles, my heart aches for the communities and landscapes enduring such devastation. This isn’t just a distant tragedy for me; it hits close to home. Los Angeles, and specifically the Pacific Palisades, isn’t merely the place where Transcendent Active is made – it’s part of who we are. Every stitch, every design, every piece of our modest athleisure collection is brought to life there by a talented team of local makers. The people, the creativity, the resilience – it’s woven into our identity.

At Transcendent Active, we launched our journey in 2020 with the Mesh All Day Active Skirt, made right in Downtown LA. From having our first pop-up in Wilshire Park, where we showcased the Mesh All Day Active Skirt, Knot Dress, and Quarter Sleeve Tops, to holding our first photoshoot in our DTLA factory, Los Angeles has been integral to every milestone. Since then, our collection has grown, but our commitment to LA remains unwavering. Every piece of our modest sustainable fashion and sustainable activewear is crafted in Los Angeles, where we collaborate with incredible artisans who bring our vision to life. We will always create Transcendent Active in LA because it’s not just about fashion; it’s about community, integrity, and purpose.

These fires are a stark reminder of how interconnected we are with the environment. They’re also a wake-up call about the growing urgency of addressing global warming and climate change. Sustainable fashion isn’t just a buzzword for us; it’s a responsibility. By producing locally in America, we reduce our carbon footprint, support local economies, and take a stand for the planet. It’s why “made in America” isn’t just a label for us – it’s a promise to prioritize sustainability and accountability in every step of our process.

The devastation in LA reinforces why we’ve made these choices. Climate change is fueling more extreme weather events, including the fires currently threatening the very city where Transcendent Active’s story begins. Our commitment to sustainable activewear is about more than creating beautiful, functional pieces; it’s about doing our part to combat the climate crisis and inspiring others to join us in making mindful choices.

To everyone in Los Angeles, especially in the Pacific Palisades, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Your strength and resilience inspire me. To our community, let’s continue to support modest sustainable fashion and mindful living, knowing that every choice we make can contribute to a healthier planet.

Stay strong, LA. We’re with you, always.
