    Fabric heaven! Cuttings that are ready for dying and sampling. It may not look like it from the photos, but each fabric is incredibly unique in texture. Many of my collectsions start in this room with fabric sourcing.

    This season we have committed to using reusable cotton dust bags to protect each piece of clothing. There are endless ways to be mindful about how you choose to produce your products, and this is just one of ours. Pictured here, the bags are being prepared to be screen-printed with the Maria Stanley logo.
