Our Origin

Woven into
Kansas City

Aliveandpeaceful began with a single vision on Twilight Avenue: to bridge the gap between high-fashion sophistication and the intimate, grounded spirit of the Midwest.

Founded in 2018 in the heart of the 64106 district, we have evolved from a small design studio into a digital sanctuary for the modern urbanite. Every piece in our collection is a testament to the Kansas City hustle—refined, resilient, and remarkably unique.
