Extending fabrics to cut out the pieces. Working with small manufacturers and cooperatives makes processes sometimes long and need a lot of handmade as our partners do not have machines for all the processes. A handwoven fabric for example is rolled up by hand and may come crinkled after shipping it to the sewers, they will then need to extend it, let it rest and iron it before cutting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Even if this may be a challenge from time to time this is part of our structure. We work with patience and with a longterm planning to develop and produce our pieces! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Even though we are still expecting some deliveries for this summer and look forward to share these with you very soon.
Picked some oranges for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lua in the Tona Blouse & Paul Trousers.
visiting the people who produce the clothes for Jungle Folk is such an important and beautiful part of our work. To know how they live, work, what their dreams are, what impact we have on their life and how our collaboration can always be improved.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #junglefolk #consciousclothing #ethicalfashion
