"I definitely love a brand that can provide clothing items that can last a long time. Even as a kid, you would wear the same things over and over again. If there was a hole, you could just patch it up or stitch it. And so I normally gravitate towards those brands. Those that aren’t just part of some trend cycle and are thrown away after a few months. Rather a brand that’s much more intentional of what they’re putting out there."

"On a chilly Friday morning in February, I heard a quick knock at the door and saw a smile that could warm up the entire marketplace. The one and only Lauryn Alvarez was back at SEED. From our in-depth tour of the marketplace to our beautiful conversation at the picnic tables, time felt quick, and talking seemed easy with Lauryn. We discussed her fascination with fashion, her perspective on the pandemic, her career crossroad in college, her ambitions with art, and so much more."
