WHO WE ARE

 

Who We Are

At Ipitemi, we believe that what you wear should not only enhance confidence but also carry meaning. Our garments are designed to be lived in, to age gracefully, and to become part of your story—cherished, not discarded.

Why We Created Ipitemi

No one thrives alone. What we receive in life, we must share.

With Ipitemi, we set out to create more than just clothing. We wanted to design pieces that instill pride, create jobs that uplift communities, and contribute to a world where craftsmanship is valued over mass production. This is our way of giving back—of ensuring that fashion is not just an industry but a force for good.

Born Out of Commitment

Founded in 2017 by Ivy Choi Andrews, a designer who started with women's clothing and later transitioned to men's fashion.
For 25 years, Ivy has committed herself to the art of clothing design, driven by a deep respect for craftsmanship and sustainability. Her hands have shaped countless garments, but what makes each piece unique is the soul within it.

She stand firmly against the cycle of fast fashion, where fleeting trends contribute to an endless stream of waste. not want to create just another piece of clothing that will end up in a landfill. Instead, she believe in garments that stand the test of time—clothing that carries meaning, that is worn with pride, and that grows more beautiful with age.

Her designs are not dictated by fleeting trends but by the philosophy that true style is timeless. She embrace slow fashion, where craftsmanship, fabric, and design come together to create something worth keeping—something that tells a story rather than becoming another discarded item on this planet.

Through Ipitemi, She create clothing with a conscience—garments that celebrate individuality while respecting the earth.

Dyeing with Nature, Creating with Purpose

We believe that what we take from the earth, we must return—not as waste, but as something meaningful.

That is why we use natural fabrics and dyes, carefully extracted from the world around us. The colors you see in our clothing are borrowed from nature—each shade telling a story. And when the time comes, they will return to the earth as naturally as they came.

The Artisans Behind the Colors

Behind every color, there is a story.

Our master artisan has spent over 30 years in the fashion industry, perfecting the delicate balance of tradition and innovation. Her husband, a herbal doctor, brings deep knowledge of natural ingredients, helping refine dyeing techniques that honor both fabric and the environment.

Together, they continue to push boundaries—ensuring that colors do not bleed, textures remain rich, and each recipe is an evolving masterpiece of nature’s gifts.
