Polygate is a contemporary fashion label creating limited physical editions from generative art. Our prints come out of generative models; our garments are cut and printed to order by partner studios in London and Montreal, on silk satin and organic cotton.

Nothing is mass-produced and nothing sits in a warehouse. A piece begins to exist the moment you order it — slightly longer waits, zero waste.

Polygate is operated by Polygate AI LLC, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Questions, sizing, returns: support@polygateai.com
