ABOUT
OUR MISSION
RAT BOI is a female-owned small business that specializes in high-quality, ethically made cotton basics and apparel. We design pieces to be held onto and cherished, not to be replaced with each passing trend. Every RAT BOI piece is dreamt up and ethically made in small batches in Ventura, CA because the people who make your clothes matter as much as the people who wear them.
From day one, we have offered an inclusive size range and designed our styles with every body in mind. We spend countless hours fitting our pieces to various fit models rather than using standard sizing rules so your items fit your body perfectly.
At RAT BOI, there are no hidden costs in the form of labor exploitation or low-quality materials, as is common with most fast fashion brands. We understand that shopping ethically isn't always accessible for everyone, so we strive to be as transparent as possible in our practices and pricing. We are committed to producing only what we know we will sell and pricing our pieces based on the actual costs of production, avoiding needless markup and dependence on seasonal sales to move surplus inventory.
Our people and planet prioritized business model supports the slow fashion movement and contributes to a more sustainable future in the apparel industry, allowing you to maintain your individual style with a clear conscience. We appreciate you joining us in prioritizing the planet and our future. It looks good on you.
ABOUT
Hi! I'm Alexa and I founded RAT BOI in July of 2019. After leaving my 7-year film career creating environmental documentaries, I began dreaming up and sewing one of a kind, small batch creations in my garage.
In the early days, RAT BOI's core products included scrunchies, upcycled vintage duffel bags, totes, and pullovers. We developed our first line of basics and undies in 2020 which featured our signature lace elastic trim and satin rose – both of which have become hallmarks of our brand.
When I could no longer keep up with the demand on my own, I knew I would need to outsource some of the work but did not want to compromise our core values of creating high quality, and ethically made pieces. After a long process searching for and vetting partners in our own backyard, we proudly moved RAT BOI's production to a family-run factory in Los Angeles where our highly skilled sewers receive fair wages to make your garments.
Eventually we moved out of the garage and into our own studio and were able to add more members to our small but mighty team :) Our goal was to make high quality pieces intentionally and ethically and while it's not always easy, seeing people continue to discover and fall in love with our core styles sure does feel like a win :)
