A Friend Made

Handmade, one-of-a-kind denim made in Laguna Beach.
We’re proud to carry A Friend Made — a collection of unique, handcrafted clothing. Each pair reflects a deep commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and the coastal roots that inspire every stitch.
No two pieces are alike, just like no two friends are the same — a perfect match in every way.
Rooted in a lifelong love of all things blue and stripes, A Friend Made is a true labor of love. Drawing on years of experience working with fashion houses across Tokyo, London, San Francisco, and New York, Amy & Matthew bring a seasoned eye to every detail.
The journey begins with vintage indigo blankets, hand-selected in New York City from West African friends. Each blanket is carefully separated and meticulously sewn back together by Matthew — “our maker” — who lets the cloth itself guide the design, never forcing it. The rich blues range from deep, time-worn hues to lighter, weathered tones. The tattered edges and blemishes tell the story of their history and beauty.
Wear A Friend Made with confidence — and when someone asks, “Who are you wearing?” simply say, A Friend Made.
