We learned the industry. Now we are rewriting it.
Eorte was founded by fashion designers who set out to make better uniforms. Everything is designed and developed in our Los Angeles studio.
Eorte started in hotels. Their uniforms came from catalogs that had not changed in twenty years, and the same properties were paying to haul away hundreds of pounds of bed linen a month.
So we built a loop. We take textile waste and turn it into fiber, then fabric, then uniforms. Every garment is tracked while it is worn, and when it is done we take it back and make it into new material. That is what we mean by regenerative.
Hotels were our first market. We now also make uniforms for corporate teams, food service, healthcare and youth organizations. Joey Pham and Angelica Navarro founded the company in Los Angeles in 2022, and every sewing partner is within five miles of the studio.

Joey Pham and Angelica Navarro are fashion designers who spent years inside the industry and saw how fast it moves, and how much of what it makes is thrown away.
They founded Eorte in Los Angeles in 2022 to build a better way to make clothes, starting with uniforms: made from textile waste, tracked while they are worn, and taken back at the end.
