First Rite
First Rite was launched in 2015 in San Francisco, CA by designer Nikki Garcia. Years of working in all aspects of the industry from retail to small label and corporate design finally converged into the idea of a better way: a smaller footprint, a more hands on approach involving personal relationships, and an involvement in the process from raw material to finished product. In 2022 Nikki and her family relocated to her hometown of Portland, OR, where the studio and business are currently located. Read more about the brand's values here.
