Esse was born from one woman’s wardrobe crisis and turned into a movement for mindful style. When founder and designer Alicia Tsi realized her overflowing closet somehow left her with “nothing to wear,” she ditched her 9-to-5 and set out to redefine fashion’s purpose. What she uncovered was an industry hooked on fast fixes and senseless waste. From there, Esse emerged; a collection of timeless, beautifully crafted staples made from low-impact materials like Tencel, bamboo, organic cotton, and even rescued fabrics saved from the landfill. Each piece is designed to last, to love, and to outlive trends. The small-batch brand partners with ethical factories where workers earn fair wages, take paid holidays, and thrive in safe environments. With Esse, getting dressed isn’t just about what you wear, it’s about what you stand for.
