Design Approach​
​
Herderin offers qualitative clothing designed from somatic principles and constructed from fibers grown locally and organically. Our goal is to enrich bioregional health by creating a model for Climate Beneficial™ and regenerative fiber sourcing matched with ethical local manufacturing.
​Our offerings are designed and developed in San Rafael, California by Alexandria Vasquez, PhD, who is inspired to create community around clothing. Every Herderin piece is made in studio by a small team of artisan women who make every garment to order.
​
Body-Centered Design
​
People and the environment do better when garments are made to be enjoyed despite changes to their bodies.
Herderin clothing is made to expand and contract; creating balanced proportions and sculptural framings of the body without compromise.
​
A foundation of our approach to design is freedom. Therefore, our garments contain zero hardware.

Regional Fibers: Supporting US Organic and Climate Beneficial™ Textiles
​
The majority of Herderin textiles are grown and processed in the US, and are certified organic with quality ethical and environmental standards. We are Fibershed certified for ethical production, practices and textiles. Read more here.
​
We are pleased to introduce innovative textiles that support nature via Climate Beneficial™ wool and cotton, traceable Nativa wool, Texas grown organic cotton, and more.
​
Drought Conscious​
​
Droughts are a recurring feature of California’s climate, which is why we focus on low water, small batch natural dye 'broths'. When we do not use plant dyes, we use GOTS-certified non-toxic dyes.
