OUR STORY

Helt Studio, a modern chef uniform store, began with one simple idea — what you wear to work should work for you.

Our Journey

Established in 2019, Helt Studio embarked on a mission to redefine the capabilities of your workwear. Those who wear uniforms often find themselves in them for extended periods compared to everyday attire. However, traditional workwear tends to be rigid, uncomfortable, and lacking in style. Our vision is to revolutionize this experience by engineering soft, functional, and comfortable fabrics, transforming them into well-designed uniforms right here in Los Angeles. This mission has enabled us to collaborate with renowned establishments, including Joey Restaurant, Patina Group, Panda Express, Alfred Coffee, Ritz-Carlton, and many others. At Helt Studio, we firmly believe that what you wear to work should work for you.
