We make inspired apparel for women, trans and non-binary folks!

About us

Kirrin Finch is a conscientious clothing company, founded by Brooklyn-based couple Laura Moffat and Kelly Sanders Moffat, that will meet the growing demand for gender-defying fashion by creating menswear-inspired apparel designed to fit a range of women's bodies. The inspiration for the business was borne out of our own frustration at being unable to find clothes that match our personal style. As women who tend to gravitate towards button-up shirts and bow ties, we often find ourselves envying the clothes in the men's section, but are always frustrated because they are not designed to fit a woman's body. Although we don't come from a traditional fashion background, Kelly was a teacher in the NYC public school system and Laura has a Neuroscience PhD and is a former marketing consultant, we are no longer willing to settle for ill-fitting menswear or overly frilly womenswear. So, we decided to join the movement that rejects traditional stereotypes and gives people the freedom to be their true selves.

    Kirrin Finch is an LGBTQ+-owned clothing company dedicated to making the shopping experience for women, nonbinary, and trans people more accessible. Co-founders Kelly and Laura Moffat started the brand after they had difficulty finding clothes for their wedding in 2014. Their collection transforms the fit of traditionally masculine items like button-up shirts, suits, and accessories, to be inclusive of all body types. Their dream? That all humans who wear Kirrin Finch feel confident that their style reflects who they are on the inside. “It is more than just putting on a shirt or a suit. It is an acknowledgement of who you are and how you want to express yourself to the world.” How do you celebrate Pride all year round?🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️💙

    It’s humbling to reflect on why “coming out of the closet” and being your authentic self in the public eye is so challenging. Everything from personal safety concerns, to being financially secure, to the surprisingly difficult task of finding affirming clothes, makes up the queer experience in 2024. That’s why this past June, we were so proud to launch a collaboration with Clandestina, a Cuban fashion brand co-founded by Leire Fernandez and Idania del Rio. Clandestina has been a beacon of hope and visibility in a landscape where being "hidden" was once necessary. As pioneers in both fashion and Cuba's LGBTQ+ community, they embody the power of authenticity and the impact of queer-owned businesses. #QueerVisibility #KirrinFinch #Clandestina #DapperScout #LGBTQBusiness

    In Spanish, Clandestina means “hidden” or “underground.” I’ve had the honor of serving as Clandestina’s US Market Leader for the past year, and have seen first hand just how apropos the name for a brand that has been operating in a clandestine manner out of necessity. It wasn’t until 2021 that Cuba legalized the small business category, making Clandestina one of 11,000 newly minted private Cuban small businesses. This emerging sector now represents 1/3 of the Cuban economy. Beyond the economic/business impact, Clandestina also has tremendous social significance.  Its co-founders – Leire Fernandez (she/her) and Idania del Rio (she/her) – are regarded not only as pioneers in Cuban fashion, but as leaders in Cuba’s LGBTQ+ community. Since the inception of Clandestina, they have proudly navigated being queer, being women and being entrepreneurs in a male-dominated culture. Clandestina is a brand rooted in authenticity and social impact, and it’s through that lens that we engage in partnerships. One great example is how Clandestina has teamed up with Brooklyn-based LGBTQ+ suiting brand Kirrin Finch: creator of menswear-inspired apparel designed for a range of female and non-binary bodies. In honor of Pride Month, Leire and Idania were featured in Kirrin Finch’s community content series “Dapper Scout,” a celebration and collection of groundbreaking queer leaders. Their Dapper Scout feature spotlights how Clandestina is a brand committed to its values. Anchored in graphic design, each piece passes through our printing facilities and represents a larger dialogue with our community. With our community in mind, Kirrin Finch and Clandestina are rewarding our shared customers with double discounts during the month of June: 20% off Clandestina.co with the code BACHATADELNORTE 15% off KirrinFinch.com with the code 15Clandestina (first time customers only, redeemable through 6/24/24). Thank you to Kelly Moffat and the Kirrin Finch team for joining forces in celebration of Pride Month! Check out the Dapper Scout feature here: https://lnkd.in/ehNAkghV #PrideMonth #Pride #BrandPartnerships #SocialImpact #Clandestina

    This is an oldie but a goodie. Two years ago, in partnership with Mirror Image Media, we created a series of videos interviewing the most fascinating people on the planet: our customers. If you think we’re laying it on a little thick, just watch, and we bet you right now you’ll get misty-eyed before the end. "If I were able to go back to my 16-year-old self, I would tell that person you're going to be confident, you're going to love yourself, it's all going to work out," Amanda says in the video. 🥲 We’re so honored to have been a small part of your journey, Amanda. We can’t wait to see what you’ll achieve next. #CustomerSpotlight #CustomerSuccessStory #InspiringJourney #WorkStyle https://lnkd.in/e7wxqm_s

    So beyond thrilled to have been featured in Kirrin Finch's Dapper Scouts program. I've been a big fan of the company for years, and love everything they stand for, so I was very humbled when they reached out. Kirrin Finch makes menswear-inspired clothing and suits for women, nonbinary and trans folks. But they don't just make clothes, they uplift and empower queer folk through their clothes and by sharing their stories, like mine.

    June’s revelry and rainbows are an important time to celebrate and soak up the beauty and vibrancy of our community, but the queer experience doesn’t exist solely in a month. All year round, each and every day, we here at Kirrin Finch move through the world as queer people and queer allies. It’s imperative that we pause and highlight the work that needs to be done to lift up and protect our rights and safety. Pride started as a riot because our community was under attack, and the need to stand up and fight back is just as important today. Recent threats to our community are meant to intimidate, scare, and prevent us from living authentically. They are very real, and sadly, they are escalating by the day. We’re also disappointed to see a growing trend of companies and organizations shying away from showing up for the LGBTQ+ community due to hateful rhetoric. At Kirrin Finch, we recognize the importance of showing up all year long. We’re living it. We approach our social giveback strategy through three different pillars: donating time, sharing stories and resources with and about the community, and philanthropic giving to LGBTQ+ organizations. Today, we ask you to join us in living with pride every day by celebrating some of our amazing community partners as Kirrin Finch “gives them their flowers!” #futureoffashion #LGBTQ #advocacy #giveback
