WHO WE ARE
We are an online boutique made up of a handful of artists and people who love doing great work. We sell high quality design through clothing and accessories made with something extra that we call love. Our store is inspired by our families, our experiences, and the mission to share that through what we make and what we do.
At Launch we love colors and pattern; but we'll always have an incredible black dress in stock. We believe in quality fabrics, quality manufacturing, and a quality experience because what we make matters—to our customers, to this planet and to us.
How It All Started
OUR HISTORY & HERITAGE
Just over 100 years ago, a family of Greek refugees settled in St. Louis, Missouri to escape persecution and to find new opportunities. In the years that followed the family grew and so did a humble dry cleaning business in the north part of the city where they worked shoulder to shoulder together. What those ancestors taught their children was that hard work, education, and the family connection to the local Greek church —wearing their Sunday finest—was key to living a good life.
That foundation set the stage for Launch Clothing & Accessories to be founded on a dedication to beautifully made apparel inspired by the people who wear, make and design beautiful things.
We offer different ways to shop for different customers. Shop at your convenience online or book an appointment for a virtual or stockroom visit.

To have a well-rounded wardrobe, every closet needs a few essentials: a distressed piece, a go-to pair of jeans, and a good button-up. Taking the time to find your personal style and investing in quality pieces embodies the essence of fashion.
