The Habitat Clothing Story
Habitat Clothing was founded in 1999 by Suzanne Williams and her husband Rich Connelly as they were raising a three-year-old and expecting their second child. Suzanne and Rich were busy selling clothing for large brands at trade shows, yet they felt the products didn’t live up to their customers’ expectations.

This realization continued to weigh on Suzanne’s mind throughout her pregnancy. During the eighth month, inspiration struck. She and Rich were ready to take action with a line of comfortable, stylish clothing that would flatter bodies of all shapes and sizes and enhance self-confidence.
That’s when the couple founded Habitat Clothing in their home’s basement. What began with a small selection of eight women’s t-shirt styles quickly evolved into the brand as we know it. Today, Habitat Clothing can be found in about 1,200 boutiques and specialty clothing stores across the United States, including Paloma Clothing in the Hillsdale neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.
