ABOUT
OUR MISSION
RAT BOI is a female-owned small business specializing in high quality, ethically made cotton basics and apparel. We design pieces to hold onto, to cherish, 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 inclusive sizing and create our styles with every body in mind. We know shopping ethically isn't always accessible for everyone so we try our best to be as transparent as possible in our practices and pricing. We are committed to making only what we know we will sell, and pricing our pieces based on what it costs us to make them rather than needlessly marking up prices and depending on seasonal sales to move surplus inventory. At RAT BOI there are no hidden costs in the form of labor exploitation or low quality materials as with most fast fashion brands. Our people and planet prioritized business model supports the slow fashion movement and contributes to a more sustainable future in the apparel industry so you can keep your individual style with a clean conscience. We thank you for 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 :)
