Message from CEO regarding the war in Ukraine
Dear beautiful friends! Since the launch of IGIGI in February of 2000, I wholeheartedly believed that manufacturing of our garments should be done with highest ethics and integrity. That is why for over a decade we have manufactured IGIGI garments in small batches of mass production in our hometown, San Francisco, CA.
However in 2019 we have made an important decision to switch from mass production to the sustainable made-to-order (the custom - couture) model. We are also committed to keep the prices of our couture custom designs at about the same affordable level as mass production pieces we used to offer in the past.
However, the costs of custom made-to-order production is 4-8 times higher (depending on the design) than mass production and therefore we had to find affordable high-quality manufacturing.
That is why I decided to manufacture in Ukraine, my Motherland - a beautiful sovereign European country with fascinating 1000+ year old history, amazing landmarks, cathedrals and churches and unbelievably delicious food. Our commitment was to empower Ukrainian women-seamstresses and tailors with higher quality of life, while having them provide wonderful craftsmanship of our garments.
On February 24th, 2022 the unspeakable have happened. Ukraine has been attacked by the neighboring Russia. Since that day our team has been hiding out in bomb-shelters without basic necessities - food, water and heat. Currently the IGIGI team is working around the clock to find a way evacuate our seamstress team and their families along with all of our supplies and fabrics.
We are now looking for a safe and alternative manufacturing facility in the smaller towns where there are no shootings or bombings. Despite the devastation, IGIGI will continue to manufacture your orders, with delay, even in the wake of this devastation. We do this to be able to continue to support the now-refugee seamstresses and their families.
We most sincerely apologize for the delay with our production and we are doing everything to re-establish our delivery timelines. We hope you will continue to place your orders, allowing an extra 2-4 weeks for delivery.
With love,
Yuliya Raquel
