Tie Front Vest

Monetta Collective believes in slowing down and creating clothing that holds value — not just in craftsmanship, but in the stories they carry and the feelings they communicate.

Monetta Collective is based in Northern Virginia and rooted in the belief that fashion should be intentional, expressive, and lasting. In a world that moves fast, they move with care—reimagining what clothing can be when it’s made with love, not urgency. They work primarily with preloved garments—sourced from thrift shops, estate sales, and donations—transforming them into one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate both form and story. These aren’t blank slates. They carry energy, wear, texture—and they honor that. Every cut, stitch, and alteration is a collaboration with what already exists. In their 400 sq ft studio, garments are deconstructed, reconstructed, and given new life. They believe imperfections are an asset, not a flaw. They speak to where a piece has been and make room for where it can go next. Every design is an experiment in slowing down, paying attention, and creating something that matters. Their commitment to sustainability goes beyond materials—it’s about mindset. They reject overproduction and fast trends. Instead, they focus on thoughtful design, small-batch drops, and timeless silhouettes. Every Monetta piece is made to be worn, re-worn, and lived in.
