New York’s Garment District
In the bustling streets of New York City, amidst the towering skyscrapers and iconic landmarks, lies a hidden gem that serves as the beating heart of the fashion industry: the Garment District. This vibrant enclave, nestled just beneath the neon glow of Times Square, is a testament to the city’s enduring legacy as a global leader in style, design, and quality craftsmanship.
“MADE IN NEW YORK”
At first glance, New York’s streets are a runway unto themselves, where eclectic streetwear fashion flourishes, showcasing the diverse tapestry of cultures and influences that define the city’s unique identity. From the chic boutiques of SoHo to the hip enclaves of Brooklyn, streetwear aficionados flock to the city in search of the latest trends and avant-garde designs.
Yet, beyond the surface allure of fashion-forward styles lies a deeper narrative that underscores the significance of garments being made right here in New York. For JŪN, this commitment to local manufacturing is not just a business decision—it’s a fundamental aspect of our brand identity.
Founded on the principles of quality craftsmanship, sustainability, and ethical production, JŪN has chosen to make our clothes in New York for a multitude of reasons. Central to this decision is our ability to maintain complete control over every aspect of the production process, from start to finish.

In the heart of the Garment District, we have the unique opportunity to source our own fabric, create our own clothing patterns, and produce our own clothing—all within walking distance of one another. This vertical integration not only streamlines production but also allows us to uphold the highest standards of quality control and craftsmanship.
By producing our garments locally, we minimize our carbon footprint as well as support local artisans and suppliers. Furthermore, by producing our garments in New York, we can ensure fair labor practices and provide meaningful employment opportunities within our community.
The Garment District serves as a vibrant hub of creativity and collaboration, where designers, artisans, and manufacturers come together to bring their visions to life. Here, amidst the whirlwind of activity, JŪN finds inspiration in the rich tapestry of cultures and traditions that define New York City.
