Today Aviator Nation is a multi-million dollar business with 16 store locations across the US – including event space Dreamland in Malibu and wellness studio, RIDE, in Santa Monica - and a factory in downtown Los Angeles that employs over 300 people. The garments are still Made in America after 15 years and Paige continues to inspire other companies to push the limits on manufacturing local.
