Founded in 2010 by brothers Juan Diego, Fernando, and Patricio Gerscovich, Industry of All Nations (IOAN) is an ethical apparel brand based in Los Angeles, California. The brand emerged with a unique philosophy: to take manufacturing back to the original makers at the source of the raw materials. Rather than relying on conventional factory systems, IOAN's mission is to preserve cultural heritage and ancestral craftsmanship while empowering local communities globally. They are deeply committed to non-toxic production, strictly avoiding harmful chemicals and synthetic dyes in favor of organic, natural alternatives.
IOAN garments are crafted using premium, highly specific natural materials. They utilize 100% organic, rainwater-irrigated cotton, undyed virgin alpaca wool, and closed-loop recycled cotton fibers. A key feature is their strict adherence to natural, botanical dyes—such as pure indigo—or leaving fibers completely undyed to prevent toxic runoff. Construction involves working directly with local artisans, pairing traditional techniques with modern quality standards. True to their namesake, their clothes are made all over the world, specifically where the raw materials originate. Consequently, their organic cotton garments and natural dye processes are made in India and Peru, their virgin alpaca knits are made in Bolivia, and their recycled cotton pieces are manufactured in Guatemala.
