About
2020 TIME FOR CHANGE
Life extinguishing brush fires, the spread of COVID19 creating a Global Pandemic, reignition of the Black Lives Matters Movement, civil unrest, climate disaster...
2020 is the time for change on all levels. This is what Revolution looks like. We are answering the call.
7 years ago a traumatic spark ignited the Fashion Revolution and Themis and Thread was called to action.
Sparks are flying. Now it's time for everyone to answer what's calling them.
We have taken lots of time to listen and to plan how Themis and Thread can be more inclusive. We will not stay silent. We will not post performatively. We will not perpetuate racist policy. We took a break on Blackout Tuesday and focused on amplifying Black voices and nurturing our Private Facebook Groups like Community Supported Fashion and Beauty Justice. We’d love it if you got in on the conversations there too!
We continue to stand for the rights of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Queer (LGBTQ) people all over Mother Earth whom we also stand for.
MOVING FORWARD
We have studied racism and discrimination and will continue to do so in an effort to only spread joy and inclusion.
We are hiring more diverse contractors like models and makers. If you're interested in collaborating email jessecreates@icloud.com
*We are expanding our supply base to include all of The Americas.*
Our original business plan focused on all supplies coming from The United States of America which excluded many Indigenous/People of Color to the North and South. We will continue to focus on safe and ethically produced supplies but are proud to include South America and the rest of North America which will still enable us to continue to reduce our carbon footprint through ordering close to home.
To make Sustainable Style more accessible to everyone we will focus on sharing and creating Do It Yourself Tutorials and assets that make Sustainable Style something that everyone can access and create themselves at home. With the same intention we will expand our Vintage Style offerings as an economical, ethical, and unique way to make Sustainable Style more accessible - this is a huge piece of the puzzle everyone can rock!

Mission
Spreading Happiness and encouraging peaceful Revolution through thoughtful, artistic, well made, future focused fashion. By dressing those who care as much about the planet & human impact as they do their style & health, we intended to enhance and empower your inherent awesomeness.
Themis and Thread is dedicated to exclusive use of American made, natural and recycled components, assembled in New York State. No one in this process should experience any unhappiness because of it, from farm to fabric, maker to marketplace.
We refuse to subscribe to commonly accepted levels of toxicity built into our industrial, social and domestic infrastructure.
Commitment
We believe that there is no acceptable “cost of doing business” which
I) Degrades Nature through pollution, sequestration or industrialization,
II) Threatens Life through (wage) slavery, inferiority propaganda or animal cruelty, or
III) Diminishes American Opportunity through debt (poverty), miseducation or outsourcing.
Dedication to revolutionary transparency, cooperation and good will- More than just a (Fashion Revolution) Day.
Promoting justice for our environment, humanity and our future by carbon considerate, ethically created, guaranteed products.
Liberation from arresting concepts is achievable through enlightening and accepting style, rather than demeaning and exclusive fashions. Sneaking in some magical love with every handmade product, Themis and Thread’s styles aim to let you be the light.
Guidelines
All of Themis and Thread's products are made in The United States of America, exclusively from American Made components (i.e. American made thread, buttons, etcetera.) Each garment is lovingly crafted in New York, using carefully selected American produced fabrics. All of the fabric except for the denim, comes from North Carolina, providing a minimal carbon footprint, (in many other cases fabrics are shipped up to four times around the world before ending up as products on American shopping center racks.) This fabric is made from organically grown cotton produced by American farmers. (The denim is made in New York of domestically grown cotton, though not necessarily organically grown.) Every aspect of producing these garments is done ethically and environmentally considerate. It's a simple decision which benefits us all, and actively puts you in the middle of this righteous cycle.
