Magnetic Me, the inventor of magnetic fastening clothing, is a leading New York-based clothing company catering to modern baby and lifestyle consumers. At Magnetic Me, we bring together strong, collaborative people in a culture of mutual respect, support, accountability, and passion for the brand and product. Our goal is to offer an inspirational and modern workplace that allows for exceptional talent to thrive.

Our patented, hidden SewSafe magnetic closures replace snaps and zippers so parents and caregivers can dress a baby in seconds, even one-handed and even at 3am. Built in ultra-soft, GOTS-certified organic cotton and modal, our collections span footies, coveralls, rompers, dresses, and pajama sets from newborn through big kid, and our adaptive, MRI-safe design makes dressing easier for NICU families, caregivers with limited dexterity, and children with disabilities. We are known for our prints, our sustainability commitments, and product that solves a real problem beautifully.
