Ryn Wilson is the owner, designer, and seamstress, behind ALTAR. She has been creating under the label ALTAR since 2010, when she moved to the magnificent city of New Orleans. The name was inspired by the mysticism and originality that seep from every corner of this great city. In 2019, ALTAR was reimagined into a brand of alchemical garments that promote feminism while featuring and supporting local artists. She has a strong connection to the New Orleans arts scene and collaborates with local artists to create the beautiful textile designs you see in the line. Her background in visual arts brings this passion into all aspects of the Altar brand.

ALTAR New Orleans is a line of handmade clothing inspired by the creative spirit of New Orleans costuming and made for everyday wear. Each garment is created by hand with the utmost care and quality. A unique style, elegance, and good fit are the key components of these designs.
