My mother makes broth over a low flame. As it bubbles away she carefully and gradually adds the ingredients, having selected the best products sold to her by her trusted grocer. The water boils and bubbles burst constantly in the air, triggering off a rainbow of aromas. In due time, she pours her love into the magic cauldron to produce a delicious potion.

We know where our spun cotton comes from. It originates from India and Vietnam, always the watchful eye of GOTS certification. We know who weaves the fabric and who dyes it. We see who makes the patterns, samples and garments and we can scent who prints them for us. We work side by side with our professionals to come up with strategies that minimize our carbon footprint on the planet and we strive to ensure that our clothing not only has a careful, different and meaningful design, but is also of a high quality, long-lasting, sustainable, organic and locally-made to make us beautiful both inside and out. 

We do slow fashion. What about you?
