Argent
USA · Est. 2015 · Mid-range
Argent is an American designer workwear label for women based in New York, founded in 2015 by Sali Christeson and Eleanor Turner. Christeson spent a decade in the Bay Area's finance and technology scene struggling to find work clothes that were both bold and practical, while Turner, a Savannah College of Art and Design graduate, designed for J.Crew, Tory Burch and Tommy Hilfiger. The name comes from the Argent lumber company founded by Christeson's great-grandfather, and the brand champions self-expression and radical equality at work. Argent is known for its Seasonless Wool suiting, including the Chelsea and Cooper blazers and matching trousers, along with silk charmeuse tops and dresses, linen separates, skirts and coats, all with functional details like real pockets. Most of its pieces are made in the USA with imported components. Its primary wool fabrics are Responsible Wool Standard certified, and it also uses European Flax certified linen and regenerative cotton. Argent's #VotingSuitsYou campaign with Supermajority turned its hot pink suit into a get-out-the-vote symbol worn by Kerry Washington, Amy Schumer and Alicia Keys, covered by The New York Times. It opened a SoHo flagship in 2022 and has been featured in Vogue.
