What premium actually means, by the person who created it
Mott & Bow was built out of frustration, and perfected through obsession

"I grew up in a family that had a denim manufacturing facility, and every summer I used to work there. I saw the ins and outs of the industry. As I grew up, I appreciated premium clothing, I just hated overpaying for it, and I knew I could deliver a premium product at an affordable price.
The goal of the brand is to create products that people reach for every single day."
Honesty
Alejandro grew up inside a denim factory. He knew the fabrics, the costs, the margins, and exactly where the industry was overcharging you. Mott & Bow exists because someone with that knowledge decided to do something about it.
But Better
We design fewer products on purpose. Every piece has to earn its place. We obsess over every detail, from the way a fabric is dyed to the way a seam sits. You may not spot them, but you'll feel the difference the moment you put our clothes on—and that's a Mott & Bow guarantee.
Become Yours
You know that first tee you grab from a fresh load of laundry? The jeans you reach for without thinking? That's what we're building toward. Not clothes that impress you once, but those that become your favorite.
I've always loved expensive things, but I hated paying for them. So I set out to create the premium products I loved, at a fairer price."
Designing is easy. You can sketch and sketch and sketch, make the products, throw them out there, and see what the customer might vote for. But when you're an item-focused, premium quality-focused brand, it takes a really long time to get to the premium product."
We're actively trying to design less items in the collection, because we want to focus on very few products that we can really excel at and make a difference. The pieces we put out there, we want them to be a favorite in the consumer's closet"
— ALEJANDROfor him
“The problem with traditional pajamas is that they look like grandpa pajamas.
These don’t.
The majority of guys that we talk to don’t have pajamas, and the reason why they all use an old t-shirt is because after multiple years of wear, it’s buttery soft. But a lot of those t-shirts have holes, and the wives or girlfriends will usually tell them they need to stop wearing them. So hopefully this will be a solution for that.”
For her
“I think borrowing from your husband or your boyfriend is another way of feeling very sexy. These are slightly oversized on women, so nothing is restricting you while you sleep. I think these pajamas are perfect if you’re going on a couples trip and you’re in a cabin, for example. I imagine wearing the matchy-matchy set when you’re just watching TV, and just being comfortable together.”

“There's nothing better than being comfy and cozy in bed. The fabric of our loungewear is so soft on your skin, and it almost has a cooling effect, I never get hot in it.
The tank and shorts option is very sexy and great for warmer climates, and the henley and pants set is perfect for being comfortable and watching TV. I'm a Bravo fan, so I just throw these on, sit on the couch, get comfy with my cats, and watch my shows.”
