Our History

READY TRADING specializes in natural fabric clothing, rich color, rustic neutrals, art-to-wear and effortless looks for women of all ages.  

Our READY TRADING Collection of natural fabric basics is designed and sewn in the USA and includes popular pieces that return in new colors and fabrics season after season. We feature partner lines with natural fabric collections that pack and travel, move seamlessly from work to play, and look great at home or around the world. 

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

Atlanta native, Lee Pilgrim developed her aesthetic over many years. Her original retail store in Athens, GA was known for natural fabrics, local design and accessories from around the world. It was a creative hub and gathering place for women of many ages and interests.

In that same small-town tradition, READY TRADING in Atlanta focuses on community and connection through events that feature local artists, professionals and designers. Our Open House events often support community projects or organizations. 

Our sales team is warm and knowledgeable about size, fit and color and we focus on providing a warm and attentive shopping experience.
