Every design starts with a story — a place, a memory, or a moment that sticks.
A Note from Our Founder
I’m Kristin, founder of no. 1926. Born and raised in the Midwest, I’ve called San Diego home for over two decades. This city is where my family is rooted, milestones unfolded, and no. 1926 took shape.
What started with a love of vintage tees grew into a small-batch clothing project inspired by the character of pieces that have already lived a life. Each design is thoughtfully developed here in San Diego, working with California makers to bring it to life.
Supporting local craftsmanship and honoring the skill behind the process is an important part of no. 1926 - and something I’m proud to continue as the brand evolves.
Thank you for being here and supporting no. 1926.
- Kristin
What's in a name
My maternal grandmother embodied the art of making things by hand - sewing, baking, gardening - and creating with care and intention.
no. 1926 is named for the year she was born, a tribute to her influence and the values she passed down. Her appreciation for craftsmanship and things made with care continues to inspire what we create today.
