We were stablished in 2023 with a transformative vision: to build regenerative local economies through worker-led, solidarity-driven solutions for post-consumer textile waste.

Our mission is fuelled by three strategic priorities: JUSTICE, ACCESSIBILITY, and BELONGING.

We are the brainchild of SUAY's Lindsay Medoff and Heather Pavlu, in collaboration with cultural strategist sumaq alvarado del aguila. In 2024, we secured our formal 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsorship from Mockingbird Incubator, laying the groundwork to advance our mission.
