Elizabeth Suzann is a slow fashion, direct-to-consumer clothing manufacturer based in Nashville, Tennessee. In April 2020, the company announced that it is closing after seven years due to the financial hit from the coronavirus.[1]

Background[]

Elizabeth Suzann founder and CEO Elizabeth Pape started making clothing in her spare bedroom and selling them in an Etsy store before launching the Elizabeth Suzann line in late 2013.[2][3] Over a year after launching, the brand reached $1 million in sales.[4] As of 2017, Elizabeth Suzann clothing is manufactured in a warehouse in Nashville with numerous in-house sewers, cutters, and fulfillment employees.[5]

Transparency[]

On January 2, 2017, Elizabeth Pape wrote a detailed blog post that detailed the cost of a garment from the Elizabeth Suzann line and compared it with the cost of a garment from a fast fashion retailer.[6][7] Later that year she appeared on an episode of the Econ Talk podcast to explain the financial challenges behind running a profitable fashion brand while staying within the slow fashion movement.[8]

Products[]

Elizabeth Suzann focuses on minimalist and neutral basics from natural fibers including linen, silk, and cotton. Fans of the brand include Brittany Howard of the Alabama Shakes.[9][promotional source?]
