Presence of Hand
In the wake of the Industrial Revolution, the Arts & Crafts movement sprung up around the shared value of “presence of hand,” the literal or metaphorical marks of the humans involved in hand-made goods. We’re reminded of this as fast fashion has become one of Earth’s biggest polluters while the slow fashion movement — from small-batch and vintage brands like those we carry, to individuals trying to be more thoughtful about the contents of their wardrobes — has embraced visible mending, dyeing, embroidery and other techniques to give each article of clothing its own unique personality, in many cases also extending its lifecycle in the process. Here we’re featuring some of our favorite makers and pieces that feature presence of hand.
