This emerging contemporary brand operates with its values on its sleeve, adopting an artisanal feel to its collections alongside a commitment to social, environmental, and ethical issues, and striving for more responsible and sustainable practices within the fashion industry. In practical terms that means a focus on working with local communities, incorporating low-impact fibres, along with adopting other measures to reduce negative environmental impacts (adore). The brand’s commitment to quality, paired with its focus on traditional craft and techniques results in unique and distinctive pieces, which are quickly building a cult following with your fav retailers and It-girls both here and overseas. A local name making a big impression overseas while staying true to its core values?
