Hi.
I'm Melanie, founder of virtue + vice. For the past decade I have developed and made products for many of the brands you know and love - this includes large retailers like Walmart and Target, as well as small startups like Nili Lotan and Hunter Boot.
After living and working in countries like China, India, Taiwan, and the Philippines I made it my goal to help brands clean up their supply chains, and in the process take shoppers on a behind the seams tour of how fashion is really made.
