Our greatest mission is guiding you toward authentic self-expression, offering tools that align you with the person you aspire to be. Through our personalized offerings and immersive experiences, you feel empowered to express more of who you already are, allowing this version of you to shine brightly in the world.
We are driven by the following 3 tenants:
Taking care of those who take care of others.
10% of your purchase is donated to Women’s HQ, a local Washington, D.C. organization.
Women’s HQ rebuilds communities where domestic violence and sexual abuse survivors of color reclaim their voice and transform their lives through unique wellness programs, career enhancement efforts, and strategic financial guidance.
The secret to great style is the embodiment of a greater identity that mirrors the best version of you and deliberately choosing clothing pieces that align with that image.
Our mission is to support you in gaining vital awareness of yourself and provide actionable tools to help rebuild or reinforce the desired or ideal image of you, whether through a Personalized Styling Experience or Inner Elegance Circle events.
Changing our relationship with clothing is essential to cultivating a sustainable wardrobe.
Our garments are designed with wearability and longevity in mind. Through our capsule collections, we intentionally create and curate timeless, comfortable and quality garments made of natural fabrics and plastic-free materials that evolve with you through the years and through every milestone in life.
We are committed to taking steps, big and small, to lessen the impact on our environment. Sustainability and ethical fashion is a long term goal at Bitter Grace and we're always looking for ways to learn more, educate, and do more for our planet's future!
