Hanky Panky was founded by two friends; Gale Epstein, President & Creative Director and Lida Orzeck, Chief Executive Officer who very early understood the importance of keeping things “local”, even before it was chic to do so. They have built a multimillion dollar designer apparel business in the heart of Manhattan using the finest materials available and 100% of the fabrics and trims are produced in the USA.

They have established a business model that is thriving. Gale and Lida are proving that “Made in USA” still stands for quality, pride and workmanship while also proving that small businesses’ not only can survive but, can prosper by manufacturing in the United States.
President / Co-founder of Made in USA Certified, Julie Reiser stated, “We are so proud to certify a company that truly exemplifies the American innovative spirit. Gale and Lida have found their own way, creating a beautiful product right here in the United States, keeping Americans employed and our Country strong.
