Beautiful Things,
Thoughtfully Made,
Designed for Possibility

Progress

Fabric/Assembly

• We use the full width of our fabric during production. All scraps are saved instead of discarded and used to create more products, such as cocktail napkins.
• Whenever possible, we use local manufacturing. Most of our assembly occurs in Colorado, and we make it a point to invest in our state and local businesses. 
• Our limited editions and smaller production runs produce less waste.
• We design our goods with versatility in mind. Many of our products are reversible and multi-season, wrapped into a design with a variety of uses and styles.
• Our paper goods are made with post-consumer waste or forest certified paper.
• We recognize that textiles and manufacturing are complex, established businesses and we are committed to learning about the industry and evolving with it.

Packaging

• We are changing our packaging to better incorporate compostable materials.
• Our scarf boxes are recyclable and designed with a small clasp magnet to be reusable.

In Our Office

• We have a small team here in the studio, so all office supplies are reusable. We use ceramic mugs from local artists for our daily coffees!
• We reuse scrap paper, paintings, and packaging from orders in our own packaging process.
• A big component of Isa’s creative life is gardening. In order to enrich her soil and cut down on waste going to landfills, we compost everything that we can. Cardboard, food scraps, coffee grounds- you name it, we bury it.
• We use green cleaning products. All our detergents, soaps, and sponges are biodegradable and phosphate-free, containing only plant-based ingredients.

Partnerships

Conservation International

Conservation International – We’ve partnered with CI on their mangrove restoration project, run entirely by women, on Chira Island. This community, which lies just off the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica in the Gulf of Nicoya, relies on mangrove forests for fishing. These incredible trees are leading carbon captors. With each sale of our Core Collection of Italian silk scarves, we plant a mangrove on Chira Island. To read more about mangroves and this partnership with CI, continue to our mangrove blog post and Conservation International’s website.

Ventana Wildlife Society

We’ve linked arms with the California-based Ventana Wildlife Society and their Big Sur Condor Sanctuary. Their Sanctuary recently burned in the Dolan Fire, so we raised funds to help them rebuild it by donating specially designed Condor notebooks to their fall auction. We then hosted our own auction of the original California Condor watercolor, which sold for its full price. To help rebuild their sanctuary–and learn more about condors and their condor rehabilitation program–please visit the Ventana Wildlife Society website.

Aspen Center for Environmental Studies

We wanted to be a part of the fabric of our high alpine community, so we partnered with Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES) to fuse our designs with their advocacy. Click here to learn more about ACES.
