OUR STORY
OUR STORY
LUM Studios was founded by Fashion and Creative Arts industry professionals; united by a shared dream to create their own high-end fashion line ethically and affordably. Disheartened by limited options, they forged their own path and established LUM Studios — a haven where craftsmanship and purpose intertwine.
Lum assembled a team of skilled artisans and experts who pour heart and soul into every stitch. They recruited experts in the US, Europe and South America weaving a well connected operation fit for the modern day fashion industry.
“ ETHICALLY SOUND FASHION SHOULDN’T BE THAT HARD”
Bridging two countries
The increased demand for fast, cheap and trend-right fashion; has unfortunately created an environment where unethical working conditions and pollution rule. At Lum Studios, the team knew that ethical working conditions were non-negotiable but at the same time they wanted to keep costs competitive to cater to smaller brands and emerging designers. The team found the perfect formula by keeping their office in Atlanta, Georgia and their main manufacturing Studio in Colombia.
Nearshoring in Colombia allowed them to create very favorable conditions and benefits for their artisans in Colombia, while maintaining a seamless experience for their clients in the US. Lum Studios:
