ELAV was dreamt up in 2020, by designer Vanessa Esmail, in her Manhattan apartment. What started out as an attempt to sew her own pieces, became a fashion line born out of her love of neutrals and an effortlessly chic aesthetic. Vanessa’s ideal wardrobe is something practical and classic, but not boring - quality pieces meant to live in a curated closet for years to come. ELAV is made in NYC.

ELAV seeks to reduce waste in the fashion industry, so each garment is made per order. Please note: pre-order shipment may take anywhere from 12-16 business days to receive.

Returns and exchanges may be made within 14 days of receipt. Please provide a note or an email explaining if you’re looking to return or exchange, and the reason. Any garments received by ELAV after the return/exchange window will not be accepted, and will be returned to sender. All returns and exchanges must have original tags attached, unworn, and free of stains and fragrance to be considered. Those returns which do not meet this criteria will be returned to sender. Return shipping and a 10% restocking fee will be charged to the buyer.
