The Story of Habitat

Habitat Clothes to Live In was founded in 1999 by Suzanne and Rich Connelly. This husband-wife duo had been working in fashion and selling at trade shows on behalf of other brands for over 10 years. In all their time, they still weren't seeing or selling what their customers truly craved: Clothes to fit their ever-evolving lifestyle.

Suzanne and Rich began designing clothes for real women leading real lives. They prioritized comfort, fit, and detail to create unique, modern looks that complement the body and sense of self.

And as they say, the rest is history!

The Core Vales of Habitat Clothing

Since 1999, Habitat has stayed true to its core values: Customers First, Small Batch Production, and Homegrown Community. 

CUSTOMERS FIRST

Suzanne and Rich founded Habitat with the singular goal of meeting their customers' everyday style needs. This shines through in the fit and details of every Habitat piece created.

SMALL BATCH CLOTHING

Habitat has always been a boutique brand with a “small batch” approach. From tops and bottoms to special collections, all their styles have a personal, made-for-you feel.

HOMEGROWN COMMUNITY

Since day one, Habitat's customers and store owners have been their friends. Honoring the conversations that start in shops and online, they make every design decision with you in mind.

"I think of my customers as my friends. I’m influenced by confident, spirited women across the globe, but my most important design influence is you. Each and every development decision is made with you, our real live customer, in mind."

- Suzanne Connelly
