Cool Cool Cool -- Capsule Series

Behold a special collection that we’ve been dreaming up for quite some time. We’d been thinking about creating a collection that brought together multiple prints and finally found the time to bring it to life. Doing four different prints in one garment was a pain in the butt! From communicating the print layout, to figuring out the thread color (we chose one color instead of changing it) and also the cutting! But after all the hard work of the team, we are so pleased with how it turned out. Below are some images of our process.
