Fur is always a contentious subject but we wanted to s how the power of plants in replacing the need for using animal products.
This was originally developed as part of the Inflaxuation series, showing the potential for new applications of flax in fashion, specifically by using regenerative methods.
We have some exciting new samples to share soon so stay tuned!

Sequins and embellishments! Mainly made from plastics but not our Detox Bio-Sequins.
We have made ours from waste streams and really amplify our goal to Transform Waste into Worth.

Flax is an incredible plant that is massively underutilised in textiles and materials. It is cultivated as a food and fibre crop.
As a cover crop, flax helps to mobilise phosphorus in the soil and add organic matter.
Here we have a leather alternative plant skin that is strong, flexible and customisable in colour, size, design and thickness.

Keep an eye for new projects and tests we will launch with this material.

Transient gradients is a mobile installation referencing fleeting moments of hues and texture. The fizzy blue of the ocean when you dive in deep, the glowing orange of molten glass, or the halo of green when the sun rises on trees flushed with leaves. Only when we pause and practice the art of noticing can we experience these hidden, transient gradients.
The structure is designed to amplify and exaggerate a forest, a vibrant ecosystem with some of the most intelligent and beautiful processes of nature, usually hidden from the naked eye.
Slow down, pause and reflect. Walk around the structure and allow your movement to interact with the gentle breathing of the artwork.
Process & Materials
Patent-pending biodegradable embellishments made using fungi to clean textile dye wastewater. The structure is made with a mix of deadstock textiles, flax fibres and yarns, algae ‘fur’.
The next generation of sustainable designers are on the way!
Summer 2025 we were selected by @climatechangeallchange to work collaboratively at Coppermill Primary School in Walthamstow to host workshops over 6 weeks to teach sustainable textile skills with their Y6 students.
Starting from education on fibre production (with an amazing session on spinning with @theonlyseanhenry ) through to the tech packs for a designed garment the students were taking through the whole design process implementing sustainable considerations throughout. Looking at potato buttons, natural inks and fibres from pineapple waste!

Embroidery can be used for reinforcing fabrics and garments as well as an amazing tool for mindfulness or ‘moving meditation’ through rhythmic, repetitive motions and being forced to focus on the present moment.
Throwback to our embroidery workshop with @airbnb last year.
RESTOCK coming soon: Hand and Lock x CQ Studio
We have collaborated on one of @handandlocklondon Icons and Pioneers collection: a series of kits inspired by the lives of notable women throughout history. Available to purchase through their link!
Mary Anning was a fossil hunter and self-taught paleontologist who made major discoveries along England’s Jurassic Coast in the 1800s, accompanied by her beloved dog Tray.
For an extra special detail this kit includes a selection of our biodegradable, plastic free sequins made with natural-dye wastewater✨
