Co-founders, Gwen and Chelsea, met while studying textiles in Philadelphia. After a decade of working in the footwear and apparel industries, we reconnected through the exploration of design by nature and process.

Using age-old techniques in combination with professional digital know-how, we produced the most unique prints on the market. Our color palettes, handmade marks, and dye techniques create distinctive prints that are sure to resonate with your customer.

You can find us showcasing our work at trade shows in NYC and Paris, join our mailing list to stay in the know!
