Who is an_erin?
The An_Erin brand is rooted in who Erin Robertson is as a person – her personality, passions, and journey. Erin made a name for herself in an industry that is notoriously difficult to break into; it’s rare that you see someone in fashion that came from a working class background and Erin wants her journey to inspire those who feel unseen in the industry.
An_Erin is a small business and Erin wants it to stay that way. For the most part, Erin makes all clothing pieces by hand and she has no intention of converting her business to large scale production. She wants to prioritize connecting with her audience and values her community above all else.
At the heart of An_Erin is her community. She loves her loyal followers that leave likes and comments just as much as the fans that purchase her products. Erin is glad to have a community that appreciates her work and hopes to inspire others as she continues to be inspired by them.
