About & Give Back at K. Becker
Kimberly Becker, a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, began her career as a textile designer before immersing herself in the fashion industry in New York City's garment district. She further honed her craft at École Lesage in Paris, where she trained as a professional stitcher in haute couture embroidery.
A passionate feminist, Kimberly is dedicated to empowering women worldwide. She spearheaded the installation of schoolyard bathrooms for girls in Uganda, enabling them to continue their education beyond age 12 when many drop out due to menstruation. Through her artistic training, she also creates "House Dresses," ethereal, flowing garments that tell powerful stories of women marginalized by society simply for being born female.
A bit about our values and our efforts to lower our carbon footprint…
We produce our garments in small cooperatives in New York’s Garment District, reducing the distance clothing travels before it reaches our customers.
Our knitwear is made on demand in Brooklyn using 3D knitting technology, resulting in minimal waste during production.
We collect and recycle fabric scraps generated in the manufacturing process, keeping usable material out of landfills.
We also offer a buy-back program: return your K. Becker garments for a $30 credit, and we will clean, mend, and reintroduce them at a lower price—extending the life of each piece and supporting a more circular system.
We prioritize high-quality materials and construction so our garments are made to last, and we produce in small batches to reduce overproduction. Whenever possible, we source deadstock fabrics—often from Italy—giving existing materials a new life.
We believe sustainability is not a fixed state, but an ongoing process. We are continually learning, refining, and doing the best we can with the resources available—committed to making thoughtful choices every step of the way.
We give 5% of all profits to two programs that support young women around the world.
1. Dreams of the Tropical Youth (DROTY)Uganda
A Non-profit in rural Uganda that supports young women and encourages them to stay and complete their educations
2. BRIGID ALLIANCE
A non- profit that supports women's health.
