I am almost past the edge of town when I feel their hold at the back of my heart. A wall of tall grass and crimson flower that casts the spell: you are one of us, forever. You’ve got us on your skin and in your throat and through your black stallion hair. We are the very stuff from which your marrow is made. Aunt Oleanda and Aunt Ida.  I was left here to live on with them. To learn what it means for life to do no more and no less than just last and last until it leaves us. They call them spinsters. Zitelle. The word like a witchy knot of wood in my mouth. Oleanda, with her face like a flat stone, betraying nothing. Ida the fox, hunting a form of freedom found only in the facts. They watch from the window like a pair of silent swans as I race through the fields with my feather. However far you get, their eyes say, you’ll still know you came from right here.

SUSTAINABILITY

• Our textiles are made to order, creating less waste
• Our digital pigment printing process is the most sustainable textile printing technique, as it uses less energy, produces zero water waste and has a small overall carbon footprint.
• Our one-step printing process virtually eliminates the consumption of water and the discharge of noxious effluents (liquid waste discharged into a river or ocean), by using low volumes of liquid dispersions of pigment colors
• The streamlined technology includes a softener that is applied in-line during the printing process, providing an extremely efficient and eco-friendly solution to creating a softer hand feel.
