Collaboration ~ Marche Rue Dix
Our Marche wrap scarf holds a special place in our hearts as it was made in collaboration with our good friend Nilea, the owner of Marche, our favorite little shop in Crown Heights Brooklyn! Right next door to the boutique is their restaurant Cafe Rue Dix, my favorite place to eat in the neighborhood. The interior of both spaces are incredible, a perfect mix of geometric patterns and rich textiles, we knew it would be the perfect inspiration for our scarf. Measures 40"x40" with hand applied tassels at each corner, it's perfect for bundling up and adding a little bit of color and pattern to your look, or keep it draped over your office chair to wrap up on cooler days.

Lived In Series ~ Vanessa Vargas
I met Vanessa five years ago while desperately searching for someone to help fix a very bad haircut. Luckily I walked into the salon where Vanessa was working and not only did she fix my hair but we ended up chatting the entire time and have become good friends ever since. After working for some really great local salons Vanessa opened up her very own shop Suite V in Crown Heights this past year! Fusing all of her passions, the shop doubles as a salon and vintage store. Plus you can always count on a great playlist, which I wouldn't expect anything less as Vanessa is a hair stylist by day but vinyl reggae dj by night! Truly a woman of many talents and one of the kindest people I've been lucky enough to befriend. To learn more about how this amazing lady got her start check out our Q&A below!
On The Fringe Panel Discussion
In fashion, and in society today, there are rarely prescribed linear pathways with clear end goals but rather an ever-shifting series of unexpected events which must be navigated in creative ways. In this spirit, we brought together a panel of four inspiring women who are each crafting innovative pathways at the fringes of the fashion industry. Our hope was that this discussion would inspire both young creatives and industry professionals to challenge the status quo and reimagine their participation in the fashion system.
Factory Visit ~ The New Denim Project
This past August I had the incredible opportunity to visit one of our Kordal partners in Guatemala and to meet the magic-makers and innovators behind some of our most popular woven styles! The New Denim Project is a textile manufacturer based in Guatemala City who is committed to closed-loop production practices, uniting technology and ecology in the production of textiles in order to maintain their commitment to quality and environmental and social responsibility. Their methods are based on eliminating the concept of “waste,” giving every part of the process a purpose.
