Purrfectly Unique, Just Like You. 

Eight Cats was founded in 2024 with a focus on creating unique yet classic basics for everyday wear that are made to last. We practice slow fashion by carefully designing our products and taking the time to develop them to ensure their longevity.

We are a small, woman-owned business based in Los Angeles, but our dream is not so small. Our goal is to build a community for fashion and cat lovers while also giving back to the community.

 

What We Care About,

 

1. Work Environment

• Our number one priority is ensuring a safe and fair work environment for everyone involved in our business.

  We work exclusively with factories in China that hold BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) certifications, which ensure:

  1. Workers have a safe working environment.

  2. No child labor is used.

  3. Employees receive fair wages.

  Additionally, our partner factories provide multiple paid vacations throughout the year to comply with China’s national labor laws.

  We are a small team that includes a part-time graphic designer, fulfillment staff, and a marketing director, all of whom are compensated above minimum wage (per California standards) and offered flexible work schedules.

  Our goal is to continue creating more job opportunities while providing benefits and a safe work environment for all employees and contractors involved in our business.

2. Transparency 

 

• We believe it is our duty to keep our customers informed about how we operate our business. Through social media channels, we practice transparency by sharing behind-the-scenes content, explaining the reasons behind our decisions and changes, and even disclosing actual production costs.

 

• All of our product reviews—both positive and negative—are written by real customers. We do not pay for reviews, ensuring future customers receive authentic and honest feedback.

 

3. Pricing 

• We only charge what’s necessary. Our products are priced at 2.5x to 3x the landed cost, which covers production and operational expenses—including shipping, packaging, payroll, taxes, office rent, and future product development.

4. Giving Back to the Community

• Our goal is to consistently donate to organizations we care about. So far, we have contributed a portion of our proceeds to a family affected by the LA fire and to Urban Panthers Rescue, a local nonprofit cat rescue shelter.

  We hope to continue supporting local nonprofit organizations in areas such as animal shelters, community and youth programs, disaster relief, arts and culture, and more.
