story

iver and isla launched in 2018 with a capsule collection of children's clothing items, crafted in small batches in montana and california. after the birth of her fifth child, founder Amanda Hartman, took a break from the brand to cherish those precious moments with her last baby. during this time, Amanda invited Rebekah to join the brand and iver and isla's vision pivoted. still with an emphasis on thoughtful design and slow production, but now leaning into hard-wearing knits steeped in our own homeland of montana. our unique and timeless designs blend a touch of western homestead with scandinavian handicraft; we hope you like where the brand is headed :)

iver and isla captures the longing for a return to high-quality and ethically made fashion. our dream is a small closet of handmade garments which can be passed down to be loved over and over again

dreamed up in montana. made in peru.

peru has thousands of years of knitting history, a skill passed down through the generations. our knitter are parents, like us, using their skills to create beauty for others to enjoy. we have met many of our amazing knitters and we are so thankful for them! 

not only is peru producing some of the finest quality fibers in the world, it is also leading the way on fair treatment of workers. substandard labor conditions plague the apparel industry, but in peru labor standards are high ensuring fair treatment and payment of the workers

our manufacturers use ethical and sustainable practices, which we witness firsthand during our visits

many of our items are handknit, whiles some are crafted using looms--akin to a sewing machine--still a very hands-on, time intensive process. some of the more intricate knit patterns are machine knit and then finished by hand

those who have been shown mercy, show mercy. we will donate a portion of our profits to organizations striving to love people and the earth

thank you for choosing to support our small business!

Amanda & Rebekah
