Made in the USA: 11 Designers Who Keep It Local

Tucker by Gaby Basora: You might love Gaby Basora's Tucker for her fun prints, but we love her for her commitment to the Garment District. She told us, “Tucker is made at the same factory that produced my first pieces. My grandfather came from Russia as a tailor and he worked in a factory sewing suits. He later sewed clothes for my mom for a collection she sold to upscale boutiques in Chicago. I have a personal attachment to this village-like mode of production. I am also indebted to the Garment Center for its significant role in Tucker.”
