Our Story

Clothes for women with places to go.

Meg was founded in New York's East Village in 1994 with one single belief: women shouldn't have to choose between looking incredible and feeling comfortable.

For more than 30 years, we've designed clothing that moves effortlessly through work, weekends, travel, dinner, and everything in between. Timeless pieces that become one you reach for again and again.

Designed in Brooklyn and produced primarily in North America, every collection is created in small batches with exceptional detail to fit, quality, and longevity.

Today, women across New York, Toronto, and beyond rely on Meg because getting dressed should feel effortless - and personal style should make life easier, not more complicated.

 

OUR HISTORY

Fashion has always been a part of Meghan Kinney's life.

Growing up around her mother and grandmother's stores, she learned early that clothing could change how a woman felt about herself. She designed her first garment at fourteen and, at seventeen, moved to New York to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology.

After working alongside celebrated designers including Byron Lars, Christian Francis Roth, and Randolph Duke, Meghan launched Meg in 1994 as a wholesale collection for independent boutiques.

Two years later she opened the first Meg boutique in New York's East Village. What began as a small studio eventually grew into retail locations across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Toronto while remaining proudly independant.

Throughout every stage of the brand's growth, one thing has never changed: a commitment to thoughtful design, small batch production, and clothing created for real women living real lives.

Long before sustainability became a trend, Meg was producing locally whenever possible, extending the life of garments through thoughtful design, and encouraging customers to buy less - but buy better.

Today, the Meg Archive continues that philosophy by giving previously loved pieces a second life. Customers can return Meg garments for store credit, keeping beautiful clothing in circulation while reducing waste. A portion of Archive sales continues to support Planned Parenthood, reflecting the brand's commitment to giving back to the community that has supported it for more than three decades.

OUR MISSION

We don't believe fashion should make life more complicated.

We believe every woman deserves a wardrobe that works as hard as she does.

That's why every Meg collection begins with the same question: 

Will she want to wear this again tomorrow?

Our answer is clothing that feels beautiful, fits comfortably, travels effortlessly, and lasts for years - not just a season.

We manufacture primarily in North America, produce in small runs, support independent makers, and provide personal styling that helps women build wardrobes with confidence instead of closets full of uncertainty.

Because at the end of the day, we're not simply making clothes.

We're helping women feel like themselves.
