DESCRIPTION

During our travels, we are always painting with new friends. This duck was painted by an old friend in Sri Lanka, it was actually the first time he had ever painted in his life. Because we love it so much, ten years later, we're celebrating it on a shirt—embroidered by hand, one by one.

The silhouette of this button-up cabana shirt is inspired by vintage resort shirts and crafted from breathable cotton. The custom duck embroidery details and tagua seed buttons add a playful touch to this everyday classic shirt.

The Story behind the Duck

During a solo trip to Sri Lanka, I found myself in a little surf town, renting a cabana behind a family-owned restaurant. Throughout the month, I got to know the three local men that worked there. They showed me around, introduced me to their families and roadside elephants. We spent our days laughing, cooking roti together and sharing bits of our lives.

One day, I pulled out my watercolor sets (something that came with me everywhere) and laid everything out on the wooden floor. None of them had ever painted before. How curious to introduce them to the idea that you could just mix colors, blend water, and paint an observation that stood before you or whatever image lived in your head.

They hesitated at first, then one by one, dipped their brushes in and got to work. I don’t remember exactly what everyone painted, but one of my friends, Mohammad, painted the most perfect little duck. Out of all the things in the world, his first painting: a duck.

A Thoughtful Process—

This shirt is the result of a series of careful artisanal processes. The cotton fabric is made in a small, family-run workshop, and each garment is cut and sewn by the hands of women.

The assembled pieces are individually screen printed by hand, and finally, delicately hand-embroidered by indigenous women from Santa Bárbara, Angla and Ugzha in Imbabura, Ecuador.

Hand embroidery is a traditional technique in Imbabura with its roots beyond five generations. Women in this province embroider their own shirts with colorful patterns inspired by nature.

The buttons are made of tagua seed, making the whole garment biodegradable. Each piece in this collection is the epitome of artisanally made, intentional fashion.
