Sami Miro grew up in San Francisco and frequently went thrift shopping with her father, leading to her passion for vintage and reworked fashion.
After earning her Master’s Degree in Global Entrepreneurship, Sami worked at a tech startup.
Sami Miro Vintage Launch (2016)
At 25 years old, Sami launched Sami Miro Vintage, combining her entrepreneurial skills and commitment to sustainability.
Her brand operates under the eco-conscious mission:
“Protect Mother Earth. Without her, we do not exist.”
Her business practices zero-waste design by reworking vintage textiles, deadstock or recycled materials to create new clothing collections.
Sami Miro Vintage’s supply chain is sourced, sewn, and finished locally in Los Angeles.
Beyond using sustainable materials, the brand’s washing and dyeing processes are low impact through minimal water usage and non-toxic chemicals.
In 2021, Sami Miro earned industry recognition and was awarded a CFDA Fashion Trust Grant through her sustainable efforts.
