BEHIND THE BRAND
Sustain takes us back to a simpler time where everything is made by hand, and we honor God and our Earth. Sustain inspires the woman who lives in a world full of consumerism and fast fashion to easily add sustainability into her life, without sacrificing her style. Sustain gives you permission to slow down and enjoy those things that bring you joy. It inspires you to take leisurely walks through wildflower fields, read a book, and spend time with those you love. Sustain is for the woman who has an eye for beauty and an appreciation for time-honored artistry.
We create timeless women’s clothing of great quality using organic fabrics with modest yet fashionable designs. This allows our customer to seamlessly integrate her environmental and spiritual values into her closet.
MEET THE DESIGNER
Audra was born and raised in North Carolina, and began sewing at age seven with her Girl Scout troop. She continued pursuing her interest by taking private sewing lessons throughout middle and high school. Audra has also danced since the age of two, and enjoys dabbling in other forms of art like sketching, hand lettering, and water color painting. When exploring options for her future, Audra quickly realized that she wanted to share her creativity and eye for detail by making clothing design a career. She also wanted to build upon the sewing skills she already had so she could construct the garments herself. Audra's love for the art of sewing has inspired her to want to keep this age-old art alive through teaching classes. Upon high school graduation, she attended Made Institute in Philadelphia to further pursue professional garment construction, fashion design, and establish her own clothing brand.
YOGA
Audra McGee RYT-200
Growing up a dancer, yoga became an obvious continuation of graceful and healthful movement for Audra. Her roots in dance influence her style of yoga she offers. Audra completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training with Bella Vita Yoga in April of 2023.
Sustain strives to bring the practice of yoga to more people, and to create an atmosphere of relaxation and balance. Our goal is to help people find a greater connection with their bodies and minds. Our classes are designed to provide a safe and positive environment for all levels of practitioners.
