We save every scrap, even threads! Zero waste is more than just helping the planet, it's also about helping people. What do we do with all those scrap threads? Collect them, then use them to stuff roll-up sleep mats and repair/refill donated sleeping bags and give them out to folks living in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. It's not about doing sustainability perfectly, but rather small things that add up, and how can we repurpose "waste" into something new to help others?

Sometimes as a designer, I gotta pinch myself--wearing, holding something I drew in a sketch many months ago is so fulfilling and a whole lot of magic. ⁠

Pictured here is one of my earliest drawings of the Bradley shoes, and I feel such gratitude for the path that has led me here, and how each of you have helped shape the way forward.

Each season we choose several textiles and prints to build our Core Collection. This season's stars are Raw Japanese Denim (dyed with indigo, slowly woven), and woodblock printed cotton, both chosen with an eye for comfort, durability, and sustainability. There's no sacrifice in any of those categories - they've got it all!
