WOL HIDE

Started and run in Philadelphia by Leah D’Ambrosio who designs with a holistic approach. There is a thoughtful process behind each piece for how it will affect the environment, how it will interact with the wearer and how to make it garment that you want to keep forever.

The sweaters are made in Peru. They work with a small family run factory for their industrial machine knitting. Their quality is impeccable both on technical machine work and with their detailed hand finishing work.

Thy also work with a small artisan collaborative for handknit and hand-loomed pieces. The knitters are able to work from home so they can earn a living while still caring for their families. With them, they have been able to figure out how to use deadstock waste yarns, using up quality resources that would otherwise be discarded.

Cut & sew easy pieces are made in Pennsylvania. They work with another small family run factory who offers fair jobs to their community.

Natural Dyes – they work with a small woman owned natural dye house close to our studio and factory in Pennsylvania. They use rain water for a lot of their washing processes and non toxic mineral mordants for the plant dyes.
