The mission and passionate aim of Universal Pants is to bring ethically and impeccably-made Pants to the People: beautifully designed, bias cut, one-of-a-kind garments, constructed by hand from start to finish. Comfort and utility are also essential outcomes in creating a little beauty. Pants to the people - no two alike.

U.P. garments are designed in my Minneapolis studio from quality, up-cycled design house ends, fashion-industry “deadstock”, estate linens and past season finery - all wonderful quality and often vibrant fabrics. I give them new life in my designs.

The U.P. couture line takes an extra step with the art of the over-dye. Also made from vintage fabrics and sometimes special procurements, reduce, reuse, recycle is the goal in my quest to be a zero-waste studio.

Universal Pants creations are wearable art made to be timeless, lasting and fun!
