We started with a simple frustration: most of what we owned wore out faster than it should have, and the pieces that lasted were never the ones we had paid the most for.
So the range stays short on purpose. Eight to twelve pieces at a time, each one made in a workshop we have visited, from a fabric we can trace back to the mill. When a fabric is discontinued, the garment goes with it rather than being remade in something cheaper.
Production runs are small — usually a few hundred units. That makes each piece more expensive to produce than it would be at scale, and it is the main reason our prices sit where they do. It also means things sell out, and we would rather that than a warehouse of markdowns.
Four fibres, and a short list of mills we buy them from.
