OUR WORK

IT’S ABOUT CRAFTSMANSHIP BORN OF A HONED AND MASTERED TECHNIQUE.

IT’S ABOUT THE LOVE INVESTED IN ONE’S WORK, THE PRIDE IN MAKING SOMETHING DISTINCTIVE & PERSONAL THAT RESONATES WITH OTHERS.

IT’S ABOUT THE TIME AND INTENTION INVESTED TO MAKE SOMETHING OF WORTH.

IT’S ABOUT THE RESPECT FOR THE MATERIALS THAT ONE USES.

IT’S ABOUT THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND HOW WE CAN USE IT TO MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL.

IT’S ABOUT THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL / THE FINISH / A USEFUL POCKET / A HAND FINISHED SEAM.

IT’S ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF A GARMENT ON THE INSIDE / TURN OUR PIECES INSIDE OUT AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT WE MEAN.

IT’S ABOUT THE FUN IN MANIPULATING, DISTORTING, MANHANDLING, LAUNDERING, DYING AND OVERDYING OUR FABRICS.

WE DEVELOP OUR OWN EXCLUSIVE FABRICS THAT GARETH CAN CALL HIS OWN.

WE CHOOSE THE YARNS USED / WE DEFINE THE PLY AND TWIST THE YARNS / WE DEFINE THE DENSITY OF A WARP & WEFT.

WE CHOOSE TO WORK WITH TIGHTLY WOVEN, “OVER-CONSTRUCTED” FABRICS THAT ALLOW US TO SCULPT AND MAKE DURABLE THAT WHICH WE MAKE.

WE PREFER FABRICS UNFINISHED AND RAW THAT WILL REVEAL THEIR CHARACTER WHEN WE FINISH & COLOUR THEM OURSELVES.

WE PREFER EXPRESSIVE FABRICS / FABRICS THAT WILL RUSTLE / FABRICS THAT WILL ‘RETRACT’ WHEN WASHED / FABRICS THAT WILL PATINE OVER TIME WITH WEAR & USE...

PIECES IN WHICH TO LIVE A LIFE / TO PLAY / TO SNOOZE / TO IMAGINE / TO PONDER.

PIECES IN WHICH TO EXPRESS ONESELF / TO DRESS UP / TO DRESS DOWN / TO COLLAGE - MIX & DIS-MATCH.

PIECES THAT ARE COMFORTABLE SO THAT THEY CAN BE FORGOTTEN SO A LIFE CAN BE GOTTEN ON WITH.

PIECES THAT WILL PATINE OVER TIME AND WITH USE, BECOMING A LOVED COMPANION.

PIECES THAT ARE CANVASES FOR INDIVIDUAL CREATIVITY & EXPRESSION.
