Our Craft
Made in Korea
Every ELMNTL piece is crafted in Korea. Korean textile manufacturing is near and dear to our founder’s heart growing up in a clothing manufacturing facility. Na Young hopes to bring Korean aesthetics to the closet of women around the world.
3D-Knitted
Our clothing is 3D-knitted. Each piece is shaped from a single thread into its final form, without the traditional cut-and-sew process. Traditional garment manufacturing cuts flat fabric into pattern pieces and stitches them together with seams, losing up to 15% of material on the cutting room floor. 3D knitting eliminates that waste and those seams entirely. The garment is constructed whole, not assembled from parts. The result is less production waste, a cleaner construction, a better drape, and a fit that actually moves with you.
Materials Worth Knowing
We source Mongolian cashmere and wool. Chosen for how they feel on the body and how they hold up over years. Mongolia produces some of the finest cashmere in the world, and we work directly with suppliers who meet our standard for quality and softness. Every material earns its place. We’re transparent about what goes into each piece because details matter.
Korea to New York
ELMNTL is based in New York City, and it brings together elements of Na Young’s past and present. Through her experiences, we focus on forever pieces. Mongolian cashmere and wool, clean lines, enduring silhouettes. The kind of clothing that anchors a capsule wardrobe and outlives the fads. Effortlessly put together without trying. You’re empowered to dress for you, because year after year the design never ages.
