Our Story

Staci Woo and Mike Badt with their children
  
The House of Woo began in Los Angeles by wife and husband team Staci Woo & Mike Badt in 1997. From the beginning, the dream was to produce locally, with intention and to create something you’ll love forever, it’s what we call ‘Future Vintage’.
 
Our Arts District Design Workshop & Studio has been our headquarters for the past 14 years. Home of our Made in LA brands: Woo (est. 96), LittleWoo, The Uplifters, and Sand & Sea Club. We create our boutique quality products with intention, produce locally and resourcefully while staying true to our California roots. With the ever changing climate of the Downtown Los Angeles neighborhood, we aim to keep the arts in the district.
 
 
Since our beginnings in 1997, we have been repurposing vintage kimonos, Hawaiian shirts, vintage denim and cashmere sweaters for our WooBags. Each piece was hand cut and sewn one by one to give each a second life. As our business grew, we transitioned into the traditional cut and sew method of production but our mission to design intentionally and produce resourcefully has remained. 
 
We believe that every point in production, from the fabric each piece is made with to the packaging your order is shipped in, can make an impact. We take great pride in ensuring all of our items produced are of the highest quality and transparency.

The House of Woo is more than just a clothing brand. We’re a creative experience that brings together a unique brick-and-mortar and online store with a passionate design studio, all under one roof in the Arts District.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re bringing embroidery in-house and are looking for an experienced embroidery operator to help us get our in-house setup running smoothly.

This is a one-time, short-term contract project focused on working with our Ricoma EM-1010. We’re looking for someone who has hands-on experience operating this specific machine and can help us establish a strong, efficient workflow for our in-house embroidery program.

You don’t need to be a professional embroidery operator. If you have extensive experience with the Ricoma EM-1010 through your own embroidery business, side hustle, or personal work, we’d love to hear from you.

 

THE ROLE

You’ll work with our team in our DTLA studio to:

  • Help us properly set up and optimize our Ricoma EM-1010

This is a hands-on, project-based role. We’re looking for someone who knows the EM-1010 well and enjoys sharing their knowledge and experience.

THE EXPERIENCE

Direct experience with the Ricoma EM-1010 is required.

We’re open to someone from a professional embroidery background, as well as someone who operates their own small embroidery business, side hustle, or personal studio. What matters most is that you have substantial hands-on experience with this specific machine and are comfortable troubleshooting, adjusting settings, and achieving quality results.

Experience with apparel embroidery is a plus.
