Essex Harlan
Essex Harlan is a NYC-based sustainable fashion brand committed to local production, unique design, and circular practices. Every piece is thoughtfully designed, locally sourced, and made across NYC — from fabrics to trims and labels — supporting local businesses and reducing our carbon footprint. We use reclaimed and deadstock materials to create small-batch collections that are built to last and easy to style. Many pieces are designed with versatility in mind, offering multiple ways to wear and layer.
Founded in 2014

Essex Harlan is a family-owned sustainable fashion brand founded by Bin Shen and her husband in 2023, inspired by the cultural heritage of the Lower East Side. With over a decade of experience in design and production, Shen set out to create clothing with purpose — supporting local businesses, recycling wasted materials, and reducing the carbon footprint.
