Everything you find on our website is made by hand in Portland, Oregon. All items are sewn or knit by me(Katrina) in my studio!

While some items are pre-made and ready to go as soon as they are ordered most of our offerings are made to order so they take a little longer to be ready. We typically get everything shipped in 1-2 weeks of receiving the order and mail everything via USPS with a tracking number.

Yes, we are happy to take returns or offer exchanges(where possible) on all items except underwear and custom items. Please contact us at kddesignspdx@gmail.com within 14 days of receiving your garment to initiate the return process. Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.

Now thats a loaded question as a product based business but one I totally understand! We are somewhat by definition not eco friendly since our entire business is based around purchasing and consumption, however I would like to think we are offering some lovely, more conscious alternatives to standard mass produced items. Some of the main ways we try to keep things eco friendly are: buying deadstock materials where possible, utilizing cutting room scraps from other designers when possible, using compostable packaging and mailers for shipping, having a largely made-to-order business model allows us to better control waste and stick to cutting and sewing only when an item has been ordered, lastly whenever possible we try to recycle our own fabric scraps to other makers’ projects.

Every month we donate 5% of all sales from online and in store purchases to a different charity. We announce each month’s chosen recipient on instagram so that is the best place to get monthly info. Past charities include: Planned parenthood, Nature Conservancy, Taking Ownership PDX, Self Enhancement Inc, Jackson Street Youth Services, Oregon Humane Society, NARAL, ACLU, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, ALS Association, Cascade Aids Project, Yellow Hammer Abortion Fund.

Yes! Here in Portland, Oregon we have a selection of items available at the Copper Union IRL shop and occasionally we do in person events around town(check the events page!). In Chicago we send some stock to Squasht Boutique in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood.
