Igigi For Promo Codes & Coupons

IGIGI was founded by Yuliya Raquel in February of 2000.

At IGIGI we believe in a partnership between the designer brand, customers and our planet. We create custom plus size fashion just the way you love it, in your unique size, style variation and color, while minimizing waste and providing fair compensation and great working conditions to our amazing seamstresses in Europe.

While, in the past 19 years IGIGI was a ready-to-wear fashion brand, after almost two decades of business, the true costs of ready-to-wear were too great to ignore. The fashion industry's production of off-the-rack garments ranks in the top 3 largest sources of pollution on the planet, which is also devastating to our fresh water supplies.

That is why at IGIGI we are committed to practicing sustainable and ethical manufacturing, and that is why all of our garments are customized and Made to Order.

Offering our garments custom made-to-order is the one sure way to ensure that minimal waste is created during manufacturing of our dresses, while providing curvy fashionistas their own unique styles, created just the way they love it, customized to their unique size and height.

We also offer all of our styles made to measure, which ensures a perfect fit every time. 

We believe it is a WIN-WIN-WIN for our customers, our planet and our brand.

After 13 years of being the sole Fashion Designer, Visionary and Creative Director of IGIGI, Yuliya Raquel left IGIGI to pursue her vision of building revolutionary technologies for the fashion industry, to empower sustainability and ethical manufacturing.

IGIGI since then has been acquired and under different management and supervision, years 2013 - 2019.

 
On April 1st, 2019, IGIGI brand has been re-acquired by Yuliya Raquel's new startup, backed by Y Combinator, COUTURME ( http://couturme.com).

All the environmental experts agree that on-demand, made to order clothing is the way of the future - minimizing waste, saving water, our land and resources from wasteful textile production, reducing the amount of fabric and materials used, and preventing excess stock from being disposed of or burned after the retail season is over.

What is not a widely known fact is when ready-to-wear clothes are manufactured in volume 15-20% of fabric used in cutting of the garments, ends up going to waste and is dumped in the landfill. Mass production causes billions of pounds of textile waste to be disposed onto our landfills worldwide every single day by the factories, before the garments are even sewn. Moreover each season hundreds of millions of product samples, off-quality production and unsold inventory ( please read an article here), which are unsellable, also often end up in the landfill or are burned. The waste and damage that mass production of off-the-rack clothing is causing our environment is unfathomable.

We believe that off-the-rack clothing is an archaic way to sell fashion, dictated by a single designer's view and one-style-fits-all attitude, while hurting our environment in an unimaginable way.

We work with customers to co-create IGIGI designs and hand-sew extremely high quality perfectly-fitting garments that will be your favorites for many years to come. 

We believe in a partnership between the designer brand, customers and our planet. We make IGIGI dresses to order, using highest quality luxury fabrics that we save from being disposed of after the production season is over, offering a sustainable alternative to the manufacturing practices. We also print our fabrics on demand, thus causing less waste.
