Our process & Materials
We believe that slow fashion starts from the ground up. Explore the roots of our sustainable process, where every material tells a story.
F
the farm
Welcome to our farm, nestled in the wild landscape of SW Washington. Here, we cultivate slow fashion by raising our own flock of sheep and a garden of dye plants.
Every step of our process begins here, where our pastured sheep roam freely and dye plants grow in our organic garden.
It’s a harmonious cycle of growth and creativity, where we honor the Earth’s resources and tread lightly on the land.
From the wool of our sheep to the subtle tones of our dye plants, our farm is where the journey towards beautiful, sustainable handbags begins.

The Yarn
Our process begins with the yearly shearing of our sheep. We carefully select the finest quality fibers from their wool and subject it to a meticulous process of washing and skirting to remove any impurities.
The result is the highest quality yarn, created using artisan spinning techniques and crafted with precision and care.
These durable fibers are ready to be woven into our signature handbags.
D
the dye
We are committed to sustainability in every aspect of our process, including the dyeing of our materials.
Using flowers and plants grown on our farm, we create natural dyes that infuse our yarn and fabric with rich, earthy tones.
We also use flowers to create unique prints through steaming and pounding techniques, as well as traditional block printing to create patterns and textures.
F
the fabric
Using our farm raised yarn, our textiles are woven by hand on a 4 shaft floor loom. Through the rhythmic movement of a loom, each strand of yarn is carefully woven over and under others to create fabric.
Each pass of the shuttle a testament to creativity and tradition, we create the timeless plaids and classic houndstooth patterns that define the essence of our brand.
In addition to our handwoven fabrics, we also use 100% cotton canvas sourced from a trusted US supplier for our hand-printed canvas bags. This fabric is the perfect for our botanical prints and ensures every design is made as sustainably as possible our studio in SW Washington.
l
the leather
We believe in quality that lasts a lifetime, which is why we exclusively use top grain, US-sourced vegetable-tanned leather in our handbags. Unlike chrome-tanned leather, which relies on harsh chemicals and toxins, this premium leather is not only durable but environmentally friendly.
vegetable-tanned leather is produced using the natural tannins from plants, making it a more sustainable choice for both the environment and your health.
With its superior durability and timeless appeal, vegetable-tanned leather is the perfect complement to our hand-woven textiles to create timeless pieces you can enjoy for years to come.
As you use your bag the leather will “break-in,” soften, and develop a rich patina over time, enhancing it’s beauty with each passing year.
H
the handbags
We believe in weaving sustainability into every thread of our process, From the wool spun in-house to the naturally dyed fabrics and top-grain US vegetable-tanned leather, each component is meticulously selected for its quality and sustainability. These materials, sourced from the earth, make their way to our small studio.
Here, we meticulously craft each handbag, piecing together the fabric and leather with precision and care. It’s a labor of love, where the artistry of weaving meets the craftsmanship of leatherworking and sewing, resulting in truly unique and sustainable pieces.
Rooted in nature and crafted with intention, our handbags are more than just accessories; they’re a celebration of mindful creation and slow fashion.
