Brand to Watch: Elkin

LA based brand, ELKIN was created by sisters Kara and Brit Smith; with their talent and design creativity, they have managed to create a distinct label that brings forth the perfect blend of ‘wearable intimates.’ Garments are functional enough to be worn alone, yet specifically designed to encourage the wearer to embrace the art of layering. What drew us to their current collection was the unmistakable dark and mysterious aesthetic that is contradicted with the materials used, oozing a sense of sensuality and femininity.

“ELKIN makes you feel as though you’re walking down the street with a secret… stripping away one layer takes you from day to night.”

To celebrate their love for reading, each season they base their collection of different literary genres, and for each Elkin piece sold, one book is donated to H.O.P.E, a non-profit campaign bringing art to places in need, while promoting education and peace around the world.
