I.A.N Design is a Taiwan-based brand established in late 2009. "I.A.N." stands for Interest, Art, and Nature. We convey and describe the essence of clothing and its relationship with the Earth through fashion. The concept of life as an extension of the body is at the core of our designs, which is more environmentally friendly. I.A.N Design's abstract concepts and fashion aesthetics are based on natural and simple materials. We offer more possibilities for sustainable clothing by going directly to the origin of our "clothes". We respect and love our Earth, which is why all of our products are made of 100% natural, organic cotton, and recycled materials. To protect the land that sustains our lives and creations, we use plant-based dyeing techniques that have been passed down through ancient wisdom. We aim to continue producing fashion with sustainable and creative aesthetics.
