Luxury fashion from a brand-owned factory, where sustainability and quality are sewn into our supply chain.
The birthplace of our factory, the genesis of our brand.
1970s, New York City. With calm and steady determination, Ida Siu opened her garment factory. In the pursuit of purpose, not fortune or recognition, Ida grew a reputable fashion factory wholesaling to NYC fashion greats: Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.
Its success was owed to the people — dedicated artisans, seamstresses, pattern makers — and Ida, who’d often be found in the cutting room or factory floor. Durability was sewn into seams, careful thought was put into patterns and cuts, and quality was built into the fabric of the factory.
This factory, thoughtfully relocated to Ida’s hometown of Shantou, is where IDA+S garments are cut, sewn and constructed today.
Supply chain sustainability is our purpose, not an afterthought.
IDA+S is an eco-luxury fashion brand born from this factory — we have complete ownership of the production process. With resources and freedom to disrupt how modern fashion operates, IDA+S has chosen to follow our namesake’s path: quality, longevity and intrinsic appreciation for the craft of design. Employing more than 1000 skilled craftspeople in our brand-owned factory, we take a twofold approach to sustainability, respecting both possessions and people.
For our people, we prioritise quality of life. The seamstresses and pattern makers in our factory are not perceived as resources, but as the backbone of our brand. Fair working conditions are the bare minimum; we go beyond to create balanced lifestyles. From wages that honour their masterful skills to amenities that make life better, we believe sustainability starts by supporting the careers of our craftspeople — and continues with reinvestment in training that strengthens our products and their skills.
The quality of our garments is classic and refined — with artistry reflecting the designer fashion houses that have entrusted our factory for decades. From crafting with the intricacies of silk and wool to cutting patterns that perfectly drape and silhouette, our designer quality is unmatched at its approachable price. We honour the earth by cutting precise quantities, choosing eco-conscious materials and utilising solar power.
On our mission to redeem fashion by leading with true and classic quality, we are deeply committed to environmentally friendly practices and ethical craftsmanship — while platforming the stories of resilient women like Ida who move mountains when driven towards purpose. As the founder of our factory, visionary behind our values, and hardworking mother our director is proud to call his own — stories like hers are shared the least, but revolutionise our world the most.
IDA+S brings purpose, quality and ethics to fashion — with strength in our seams and our stories.
