Soaring Through the Skies of Success

Our History

2021

Our journey began with a simple idea and a passion for Launch and Lift-Off – Empowering the First Wave.

In our inaugural year, A.T.C took flight with a debut collection inspired by the fearless female pilots of the early 20th century. We launched our online Shopify store on International Women's Day, featuring elegant bomber jackets embroidered with Earhart's iconic routes and silk scarves patterned after Coleman's barnstorming loops. Subtly, we incorporated design elements from male aviation pioneers like the Wright brothers' blueprints as supportive motifs in linings and tags. Sales soared 300% in the first quarter, thanks to partnerships with women's aviation networks like the Ninety-Nines. Customers shared stories of wearing our pieces to honor lost loved ones who flew—creating emotional bonds, like one pilot's daughter who memorialized her mother's legacy through a custom A.T.C ensemble at a family reunionexcellence.

2022

Climbing Altitude – Community and Customization Take Hold

Building on our momentum, we expanded with a line dedicated to modern women aviators, including breathable flight suits reimagined as chic athleisure for female drone operators and engineers. We introduced personalization options, allowing customers to engrave initials or flight logs—subtly nodding to the teamwork in aviation crews where men often served as co-pilots or ground support. Revenue doubled as we hit 50,000 global orders, and we sponsored scholarships for young women in STEM aviation programs. A highlight was our "Wings of Memory" campaign, where buyers uploaded photos of aviation heroines (and their supportive partners) to inspire custom designs, forging deep, positive connections—like a customer who created a jacket to commemorate her grandmother's WWII ferry pilot service, shared widely on social media.

2023

Cruising Speed – Global Expansion and Collaborations

By 2023, A.T.C achieved international acclaim with pop-up shops in key aviation hubs like Seattle and Paris, showcasing collections honoring international icons such as Sabiha Gökçen, Turkey's first female combat pilot. We subtly integrated unisex accessories, like cufflinks inspired by Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic feats, to complement our women-focused apparel. Partnerships with airlines led to exclusive in-flight merchandise, boosting sales by 150% and earning us a spot in Forbes' "Top Emerging Luxury Brands." Our memorial initiative grew with virtual reality experiences on the site, letting customers "fly" historical routes while shopping—evoking joyful remembrances, such as a group of sisters who bonded over outfits tributing their aunt, a pioneering astronaut, strengthening family ties through our brand.

2024

Peak Performance – Awards and Innovation

Recognition peaked in 2024 when A.T.C won the "Aviation Innovation in Fashion" award at the Women in Aviation International Conference, celebrating our sustainable fabrics sourced from recycled aircraft materials. Our new line highlighted female space explorers like Sally Ride, with zero-gravity-inspired gowns that subtly featured orbital patterns from missions involving mixed-gender crews. E-commerce traffic tripled, reaching millionaire status in annual revenue, as we launched an app for augmented reality try-ons. The positive memorial connection deepened with customer-led story shares; one touching tale was a widow who designed a scarf to honor her husband's encouragement of her piloting dreams, turning grief into a cherished, empowering memento worn on every flight.

2025

Soaring Horizons – Legacy and Worldwide Impact

Entering our fifth year, A.T.C solidified its legacy by establishing the A.T.C Foundation, funding aviation education for underrepresented women worldwide. Our collections evolved to include adaptive clothing for female pilots with disabilities, inspired by figures like Jessica Cox, the world's first armless pilot—subtly incorporating ergonomic designs tested with diverse teams including male ergonomists. We crossed $10 million in sales, with celebrity endorsements from female aviators and a Netflix documentary feature. Customers now view A.T.C as a personal archive; stories abound of families creating "heirloom wardrobes" to pass down, like a mother-daughter duo who memorialized their shared love of flight through matching A.T.C pieces, ensuring the spirit of aviation's heroines lives on in every thread. Join us at Air Trade Code - A.T.C, where your purchase isn't just fashion—it's a flight into history, a tribute to the women who paved the skies, and a subtle nod to the collective journey that got us here. What memory will you weave into your wardrobe today?
