We collaborate with ethical production partners in South America and Europe that we personally assessed and vetted for the state of their facilities, the code of conduct they apply, the feedback from employees, and application of fair wages; amongst many other factors.
Based on our expertise in manufacturing, crafting garments in the same country where the fabric originates is a more sustainable approach, minimising waste. This holds true when the facilities uphold sustainable manufacturing standards.

Her early paintings show a strong sense of design with bold shapes and flat areas of colour. Philinka's bubbly personality and youthful exuberance add a delightful spark to the Mowamjum art studio.
