ALDER NEW YORK

At Alder, we believe a garment should not only be aesthetically interesting, but should also have a quality, craftsmanship and an attention to detail that our customer will appreciate. We design what we would like to wear, which leads to designs that are minimal, and essential, but still playful. No matter what, they are always a little unexpected.

We strive to be as sustainable as possible, and to make informed decisions about our materials. We acknowledge and operate under the fact that sometimes it is more sustainable to use a man- made fiber sourced locally, than an organic fiber flown across the world. Every piece we create is about the details, even the ones that only the customer will see.

Alder Boutique is the online store where we present our designs, and also showcase other designers we feel share our same philosophies. We believe in quality, honesty, and sustainability in every medium.

Alder’s founder and designers, David J. Krause and Nina Zilka, both formally of the twentyten, have had their previous work featured in Surface Magazine, Refinery 29, and Elle online to name a few.
