Our Practices
Waste Diversion
Partnered with local florists to convert their greens waste into eco printed treasures, saving them from the landfill. Secondhand fibres repurposed in thoughtful ways to give them a new lease on life.
Responsibly Sourced
Fibres are sourced locally and are always secondhand. We never use new fabric to craft your garments and housewares. Colour is gleaned from a variety of local sources including urban forages for fallen foliage, kitchen scraps, florist waste, small scale flower farmers, and homegrown botanicals
Small Batch, Slow Craft
Everything is sourced, designed, dyed, and stitched by just one set of hands. A labour of love to bring you responsibly made garments and housewares. Each item is thoughtfully tended to from beginning to end.
