Quick verdict
A minimalist slow fashion micro-brand with genuine climate science credentials and Climate Neutral certification. But likely on hiatus or operating at minimal capacity, founded by Gina Stovall, a former climate scientist and geologist, Two Days Off uses deadstock fabrics sourced from LA's garment district, makes everything locally, and holds Climate Neutral certification. The 100% plastic-free packaging and made-to-order model are genuine. However, the founder now works at California Environmental Voters, the website ships only on weekends with an all-sales-final policy, and most press coverage dates from 2018-2021: suggesting very limited current operations.

Rating breakdown
Primarily deadstock linen and cotton sourced locally in LA's garment district. Genuinely diverts textile waste from landfills. Some linen sourced from Canada. Pre-washed to minimise shrinkage, Limited by deadstock availability and no organic certifications.
Made in Los Angeles with ethical local production under US labour law protections. Small-batch and made-to-order model. Very small operation (likely sole proprietor) makes formal labour certifications impractical but domestic production ensures legal protections.
Climate Neutral Certified. Offsets full carbon footprint. 100% plastic-free packaging (reusable, recyclable, biodegradable). Made-to-order model minimises overproduction. Deadstock sourcing diverts waste from landfill. Founder's climate science background lends credibility to environmental claims.
Founder gives detailed interviews about sourcing, materials, and environmental philosophy. Climate science background adds unusual depth to sustainability discussions. No formal supply chain reports, though understandable for a micro-brand of this scale.
Made-to-order model with deadstock fabrics is a genuine zero-waste approach. Each piece may be unique due to limited fabric runs. However, no take-back programme, no repair services, and the all-sales-final policy limits product lifecycle flexibility.
What they do well
- Climate Neutral Certified, One of very few micro-brands with formal carbon offset certification
- 100% plastic-free. Packaging is reusable, recyclable, and fully biodegradable across the entire company
- Founder is a former climate scientist. Arguably the most credentialed sustainability founder in the directory, with genuine expertise in climate policy
- Made-to-order deadstock model. Near-zero overproduction waste combined with textile diversion from LA's garment district landfills
Room for improvement
- Operational status unclear. Founder's LinkedIn shows employment at California Environmental Voters; website ships weekends only with all-sales-final policy; no recent press coverage suggests the brand is not actively growing
- No formal sustainability data beyond Climate Neutral certification. No published carbon footprint breakdown, no impact report, and no supply chain documentation beyond general descriptions
About Two Days Off
Two Days Off was founded in early 2018 by Gina Stovall, a geologist and climate policy analyst who spent her career working with cities on climate change solutions, Originally from New York City, Stovall relocated to Los Angeles around 2017. Having sewn since her teens, she named the brand after the weekends she spent making clothes while working her 9-to-5 climate science job. Until those "two days off" became her full focus.
The brand uses deadstock fabrics sourced from LA's garment district. Textiles already manufactured but unused, diverted from landfill. Primary materials are linen (200gsm midweight) and cotton, some linen sourced from Canada. All garments are ethically cut and sewn in Los Angeles in small batches or made-to-order with approximately 4-week lead times.
The brand holds Climate Neutral certification, supporting global decarbonisation projects. All packaging is 100% plastic-free. Two Days Off was featured by Madewell's "Humans We Heart" series, Voyage LA, Conscious Fashion Collective, and ethical fashion bloggers. Product reviews praise the quality of linen dresses as comparable to brands charging significantly more.
However, Stovall's LinkedIn now shows employment at California Environmental Voters, and the website's weekend-only shipping and all-sales-final policy suggest very limited current operations. Two Days Off is best understood as a passion-driven micro-label with genuine credentials that may be on indefinite hiatus.
