About READY TRADING

READY TRADING specializes in naturally beautiful clothing designed locally in Atlanta and cut and sewn in the USA. We focus on natural fabrics, rich color, rustic neutrals and effortless looks for women of all ages.  

We look for pieces that pack and travel, move seamlessly from work to play, and look great at home or around the world. We love styles that can be layered, worn year after year, and pieces that can showcase treasured accessories.   

Our signature style incorporates clothing, jewelry and accessories from local artists and from artisan communities around the globe. We believe that supporting artists through heritage products preserves valuable traditions, vanishing techniques and important cultures and environments. 

Several of our artisan lines are created by American designers who have embraced their heritage and returned to ancestral communities to produce their designs using traditional techniques, materials and craftsmanship. 

Owner and designer, Lee Read Pilgrim is an Atlanta native and developed her mission and aesthetic over many years. In 1978, Lee opened her first clothing store, Almanac, in Athens, Georgia.  Almanac was known for natural fabrics and local designs as well as accessories from cultures from around the world. Almanac became a gathering place for women of many ages and interests. 

In that same small-town tradition, READY TRADING focuses on natural fabrics, effortless style, heritage accessories, building community and providing a warm and attentive shopping experience.
