    Process

    Hand-crafted products have true personality; they express character, skill and culture. Who designed the product? Was there an inspiration behind the design? How do you know that the garment was made with love? How would you know if those who made them were healthy, motivated, and happy artisans? The only way is to observe and appreciate the process. We allow the process to be seen there by empowering the patron to see the impact they yield on the process.
