We collaborate with ethical production partners in South America and Europe that we personally assessed and vetted for the state of their facilities, the code of conduct they apply, the feedback from employees, and application of fair wages; amongst many other factors.

Based on our research and expertise in manufacturing, crafting garments in the same country where the fabric originates is a more sustainable approach, minimising waste. This holds true when the facilities uphold sustainable manufacturing standards.

This piece focuses on the intrinsic ties that bind family members together and portrays the essence of togetherness, showcasing how these relationships serve as the backbone of each member's sense of identity and resilience. The artwork invites us to reflect on their own family ties, recognizing the strength and support that come from such enduring bonds.
