What began as a shared vision between friends Eckersley and Lindner has blossomed into a prominent force within Seattle’s fashion landscape. Over the past 20 years, Prairie Underground has built a legacy of creating unique, small-batch clothing that blends intricate designs with essential everyday staples. By manufacturing locally, the brand has pushed boundaries and fostered a distinctive approach to fashion. Prairie Underground’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that design and manufacturing can thrive together within the Seattle community. Despite the challenges posed by Seattle’s high cost of living, Prairie Underground has remained dedicated to supporting local artists and small businesses. “Now, more than ever, it is essential to nurture and celebrate small local economies,” says Eckersley.
