We’re getting ready to start shipping the fall collection to stores in a few days, and that means working on the hang tags that accompany each garment. Because you can only fit so much on one tag, the provenance of the fabrics themselves to the blog.

Did you know that even ‘domestic’ fabrics are likely to use raw materials from elsewhere? The Canadian t-shirt jersey uses organic cotton from Turkey, while  the sheep shorn for organic wool seem mostly to live in China.

I didn’t know this at first. Now that I do, I have major carbon guilt. Alas, I’m not going to stop making clothes, and organic is better than not, and it’s a global economy (we’ve gone over this before), but it’s something to think about, anyway.

As soon as I can figure out why images aren’t loading, we’ll go through the stories behind the styles, one by one!
