for the unassuming
"Being an artist is a way of living. It has to do with paying attention, remembering, filtering what you see, and answering back, participating in life."
An undisputed axiom we live by is that clothing should be accessible, effortless, and comfortable. We focus on silhouette, proportion, and fit so that your garments are the best representation of you.
Garments will be presented as Issues and Editorials. Issues are historical explorations of a garment. The purpose is to explore the quality of the materials and the utilitarian purpose that defined the creation of the garment. Editorials will be playful explorations of the form and function of garments and accessories through our lens.
We hope our words resonate in your spirit. Participate in this journey with us, artist.

Issue No. 1
The French Chore Jacket
$239
Sticking to the heritage of this French Workwear staple, each jacket features a square hem, three exterior patch pockets, one interior pocket with a logo, a point collar, and heavy fabric.
The colors of the garment hold great significance in French tradition. Generally, painters and masons wore white, farmers and general laborers wore blue, and carpenters and woodworkers wore black.
This specific jacket adopted the name 'le bleu de travail,' literally translating to "blue work," which is the origin of the modern term "blue collar," get it... Anyway, whether you're tending to the land or sipping a matcha in a temperature - controlled environment, this piece of history will always make a statement.

For standard orders, payment is taken in full at the time you place your order. This allows us to purchase fabric and set aside sewing time just for you, without over‑producing or holding excess stock.
In some cases (for larger or more complex projects), we may offer a fabric deposit option. With this approach, you pay a non‑refundable deposit up front to reserve your spot and cover materials, and the remaining balance is due before your garment ships. If a deposit option is available for your order, it will be clearly stated on your invoice and in our email conversation.
If you ever have questions about pricing or payment before you commit, you can always reach out via the contact form, and I’ll walk you through what to expect.
