Corporate Culture[edit]

Made-in-USA[edit]

BOMME STUDIO is an advocate for Made-in-USA manufacturing. In 2017, after the closing of American Apparel and dismissal of 2,400 employees, Hurley was quoted by the Los Angeles Times that there "needs to be a call to action. We can definitely take strides in hiring dozens, but to get to thousands there has to be an actual shift in thinking."[10]

Fair wage labor practice[edit]

Los Angeles Apparel supports and strives for fair wage labor practices.[11] The company's workers earn wage of $15~20 per hour.[11] The workers at Los Angeles Apparel own equity in the company making it employee owned.[9] The company focuses on local manufacturing and attempts to employ workers in the Los Angeles area.[12][13]

Vertical integration[edit]

Los Angeles Apparel is a vertically integrated company, expanding its business operations into different steps on the same production path.[14] The company has total control over the supply chain from manufacturing to end sales. Los Angeles Apparel purchases textile and yarn products made in USA, supporting local manufacturing.[15] More than half of yarn utilization is acquired from domestic sources.[16][8]

Environment friendly production[edit]

Los Angeles Apparel integrates organic cotton and reclaimed cotton into their supply chain. The company plans to recycle almost 100 percent of their waste by 2018.
