What is Redding Fashion Alliance?
The Redding Fashion Alliance is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Located in the heart of downtown Redding’s newly designated Cultural District, we offer retail space for local makers and designers, makerspace for sewing and fashion design, a classroom space and equipment, and a conference room available to the community for meetings and workshops.
Our programs include low cost access to maker space, beginning through advanced sewing and design instruction, business workshops, networking events, local shopping features, and collaborative programs with other local nonprofits that serve populations with a compromised socioeconomic status, and workforce development for positions within local manufacturing.
