Meet Pan American Apparel

In April, the multitalented Alyssa DiCicco dug deep into Pan American Apparel's philosophy and mission in an interview for her Nashville Baby Guide Blog.⁠⁠

These were our favorite Q&As:

What is the philosophy behind Pan American Apparel?

Selva: PAA brings sustainable, certified organic baby and children’s clothing to parents, but also to aims to fill the ethical fashion gap as a whole globally. Every purchase you make from Pan American Apparel shifts the trajectory of the clothing industry. At our core, we believe the world benefits when we show responsibility to our environment, our children, and the hands that do the work. Our three pillars are: Beauty: Lovingly and carefully handmade by underserved artisans and ethical makers from around the globe, resulting in the highest quality clothing and products for your little one. Balance: We can meet the needs of our babies and children, while also understanding the needs of the producers, workers, and the earth. Responsibility: We do our part. From decreasing our carbon footprint, to sustainably producing our products, to doing right by the makers. We do it for the health of our little ones, and for the love of the Earth and it’s future.

What attracts parents to work with you?

Selva: I believe that the main thing that differentiates us from other clothing shops is our that PAA does the work for parents. We bring them the best for their little one’s sensitive skin by doing the research and building relationships with sustainable vendors and producers from around the world. Also, quality. Our handmade clothing is heirloom quality made of luxury fibers such as organic Pima Cotton and Baby Alpaca wool. Everything is made in small batches and so pieces are very original and truly stand out.

Is there anything else you’d like to share about Pan American Apparel?

Selva: Even though we are a very new clothing and accessory shop, we have gained a lot momentum! This Spring and Summer we will have a pop up shop every month. New products are launching every few weeks such as handmade dolls from Russia, wooden baby hair brushes from Germany, new designs of Baby Alpaca wool rompers and sweaters from Peru, and so much more! Preorders will be available through our website, Facebook page, and Facebook group.
