🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈

Happy Pride Month! June is when the world's LGBTQIA+ communities & beyond, come together and celebrate the freedom to be themselves. As a platform, diversity & acceptance is at the heart of our brand. The motto of our brand is ‘I am who I am. Your approval is not needed.’ We strongly believe to be your authentic self and not letting society lead you down a path that is not you. We were lucky enough to have featured in the Wolf & Badger newsletter - see below.

As you may know we try our best to create genderless clothing as it’s great for the environment to make less stock and it’s only fair for all genders to have a choice. We always design colourful to evoke happiness, below a few of our happy styles that are genderless and make the wearer feel confident.

Feel Good Cosy Sustainable Unisex Sweatshirts

Hey guys I hope you’re all well :) Surviving the 3rd lockdown! I’ve been working on a few feel-good cosy unisex sweatshirts for you all, to help brighten your mood whilst at home with a bright array of sweatshirts. This 3rd lockdown has been tough with the weather and the thought of not being able to plan ahead or look forward to anything! So I thought why not design a collection of kind to our planet, feel-good, colourful sweatshirts which you can lounge and look good in going for your daily walk. Minimal effort required!

Each sweatshirt has been made from cotton that is certified by the Better Cotton Initiative who help improve cotton farming globally. This makes it better for farmers and the environment. BCI provides farming-practice training, it promotes things like water efficiency and reducing the most harmful chemicals.

The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) — a global not-for-profit organization — is the largest cotton sustainability programme in the world. They provide training on more sustainable farming practices to more than 2.3 million cotton farmers in 23 countries. In the 2018-19 cotton season, licensed BCI Farmers produced more than 5.6 million metric tonnes of ‘Better Cotton’ – that accounts for around 22% of global cotton production!

Each of our sweatshirts is made from BCI cotton, which means the cotton is responsibly grown. A few of our hand-made sweats are below :)

Below are our popular blue cloud sweatshirt and our lilac cloud sweat that have both been hand-dyed from my studio in London and hand-painted by myself. Atm with travel being restricted and minimal movement allowed whilst we work from home, it was only right for me to paint the sky onto a lounge/going out piece. Do keep an eye on our website and socials as we may be introducing a responsible cotton matching sweatpant too! So you can lounge in full on head in the sky attire.

Below is our Exclusive Valentine’s hand painted multi-coloured heart sweatshirt. If you fancy spoiling your loved one or just yourself as it should be called ‘Self-love day’ especially in the times we are having now. Cosy up in our oversized unisex heart sweatshirt and wine and dine yourselves whilst watching your fave drama on Netflix!

We have also been working on a few hand embroidered self-love pieces. Below our ‘Im a Luxury’ white oversized unisex sweatshirt. Each letter is in a different colour and has been hand embroidered, which takes a little time as its so intricate. We like the extra 3-D effect of our embroidery as the machine embroidery looks so tight and neat! We are all so unique in our own way, I though this slogan was perfect for us all to wear with pride!

Another feel-good number we have been working on for you is our ‘Be a nice human’ black relaxed sweatshirt. Sizes come in men’s and women’s. We also have a matching black tote bag which is made from 100% cotton, imagine both worn together - hot!

Last but not least, our ‘Im Speaking’ white BCI approved hand-embroidered sweatshirt! Inspired by Kamala Harris. Growing up I always felt people do not listen as they assume your opinion is not worthy or you don’t appear to fit into their criteria to even stop to listen, but whatever to them as you do not always need to shout to have an opinion but be gracious and classy and have your own way to express the way you feel.

I hope you love my new collection of feel-good cosy sweatshirts. I hope the colours make you happy or whoever you’re gifting. I have just introduced some bigger sizes too, such as XXL and XXXL. Please let me know your thoughts and please please send us pictures on Instagram/TikTok of you in these pieces as we would love to see you in them! Stay safe and sending you positive vibes xx

During the pandemic, I have had to diversify my brand from making my up-cycled bespoke streetwear from vintage garms to be more in line with what the customer needs during the pandemic and now a recession! I started to turn my unsold stock into sustainable face masks, which has kept me sooo busy, with them being stocked in a couple of boutique in London & pushing my bespoke denim business :) I have even fitted in an elevator pitch with Trinny London, which I was terrified doing because I had to show my face and I have always been mute on social media. If you want your own personalised denim jacket as the above click here.

I am inspired by hip hop and my muses range from Asap Rocky, Rihanna, Tyler the Creator & more. I was blessed enough to be able to have customers reach out to me to paint them one-off jackets with Travis Scott 'Astronomical, Lil Uzi Vert, a 90s inspired hip hop jacket with Clueless patterns, and artists such as Lauren Hill, Destiny’s Child, Aaliyah, TLC & J-lo - currently working on an ASAP Rocky jacket so stay tuned!

I missed making my bespoke custom denim jackets as the pandemic has meant people have less places to go and with restrictions demand for my jackets has decreased so I reached out to Curtis Waters as I loved his positive energy and the fact that his roots were also from Nepal and he like myself broke the typical stereotype of a white-collar profession which is quite normal to be encouraged to follow by family. He started lockdown as a student making music in his bedroom and emerged 3 months later with TikTok's number hit song 'Stunnin' with over 100,000,000 streams on Spotify and the Tiktok Community going crazy for his song, including me!

Myself being a fashion designer and going through the cultural journey to break down the norm and follow a creative profession, which made my parents nervous - made me reach out to Curtis and ask if I could make him a bespoke hand made jacket in tune with his Nepali heritage and his then-new single 'The feelings tend to stay the same'. Whilst single-handedly and with the help of my mum and dad making 100's of face masks weekly I tried my best to fit in time to make this jacket, it took me two weeks to complete but it was so worth it!

The jacket was a raw piece at the beginning, I dyed it blue, hand-embroidered onto it the moto of my brand, 'I am who I am. Your approval is not needed', in Nepali transcript. I painted clouds all over the blue denim jacket & hat as to me it evoked positivity. There is also a heart under the collar :) The jacket took a month (cries) to get to Curtis, and was such an emotional roller coaster for as I paid for the next day International delivery and the parcel got stuck in customs for weeks, flying back and forth between states due to an error by FedEx and Parcel Force. I was chasing daily - missed his single drop due to the delay and Curtis had started promoting his new single 'Freckles' but finally, weeks later it arrived and Curtis sent through the pictures of him wearing it - he loved it, I was so happy all that hard work did not go down the pan! I suppose the message I am trying to get at is fight those cultural barriers, there are no rules to how you should live your life and what career you SHOULD do. Follow your dreams and do not give up because honestly, you get closer each day. It's bloody hard but focus on the good, overcome the bad, and your already halfway there.
