Rainbow Connection

Aviator Nation was born in Paige Mycoskie’s garage in Venice Beach, 2006. Her passion for 1970’s fashion and the music that defined that time period inspired her to create her own clothing stitched by hand. While working at a surf shop in Southern California, she purchased a sewing machine and spent nights after work teaching herself to sew, determined to create garments with the same look and feel of the vintage pieces she had been collecting for years. The garments are all handmade in California where each item is distressed to a degree of perfect imperfection, creating a one-of-a-kind piece. Keeping the garments made in America is a core value of the brand.
