In 2013, with a love of textiles and a background in fashion and interior design, we began a creative adventure into a world of natural fibers, slow production and exotic locales. We travelled to find sources in Nepal and Mexico--places where making things by hand is still a way of life--and found artisans dedicated to the old, time-consuming processes of dyeing, weaving and hand-finishing. We're continually blown away to find that this wealth of skill, knowledge and patience is alive, well and practiced daily. We design our collection to incorporate these fine skills and are inspired knowing that there's so much more to discover!
Our Goldfinch studio is in the heart of Minneapolis, where we work and correspond daily with our production partners in Nepal and Mexico. Designing and producing our collection is, at once, inspiring, thrilling, satisfying and often impractical. We love it all!
