Collection One 2024: A letter from Katie

When my children were born, my aunt hand embroidered clothing for each of them, some of the embroideries were little sailboats, some flowers, but the most unique thing about the embroideries was that she embroidered on the reverse side of the garments, ensuring that they would be worn inside out. This ritual is meant to serve as a shield against the envious gaze of others, guarding us from the so-called "evil eye."

Drawing upon this family tradition, our collection embodies the notion of protection, blending it with symbolism and inspired by some artworks of Bill Traylor. With the artistic collaboration of Miranda Skoczek, we have created a collection that embraces ancient traditions, while infusing them with modern aesthetics. It is a testament to the timeless significance of these protective practices, woven seamlessly into the fabric of our designs.

As you explore each piece, you'll find that our collection goes beyond fashion; it is an invitation to embrace your inner strength and express it boldly. The fusion of Miranda Skoczek's artistic inspiration, colour work and creativity, and our team's passion has brought forth a collection that celebrates the art of self-protection.

Welcome to the first collection of 2024, where garments become shields and fashion becomes a symbol of empowerment. A world where style and protection artfully entwine.
