EMME Studio is a clothing and accessory brand located in New York that was founded by Korina Emmerich. The colorful and eye-catching pieces reflect Emmerich's patrilineal Indigenous heritage from The Coast Salish Territory, Puyallup tribe. With a focus on social and environmental justice, the brand is dedicated to dismantling systems of oppression.
EMME Studio works with the Indigenous Kinship Collective to honor the community of Indigenous women, females, and gender non-conforming individuals through its education, representation, art, and direct action. Each of the beautifully crafted pieces is made-to-order in the brand's New York Studio from upcycled, recycled, and all-natural materials. As a result, all items will take two weeks to produce and ship.
The entire EMME Studio collection is available to purchase online.
