All Our Clothes are designed by us, Chris & Lucy, and our design team here in the UK. The final product is brought to life with the help of our fantastically talented tailor, Ismail, and his growing team in North India, and our other partners in India and Turkey.
Everything we make is 100% handmade. We have highly skilled tailors, who've been tailoring all of their adult life. Because they hand make everything, they see each piece through from start to finish and take pride in every piece they make. In addition to this, when something is handmade as opposed to production lined, you get tiny differences and character in every piece. They're not usually noticeable, but they are there. Your Yaks are one of a kind!
We use 100% Organic Cotton in most of our garments. Cotton is biodegradable as it is a natural plant, therefore it is better for the environment than polyester and other synthetic fibres - which have often been optimised for the easiest care, but at the expense of other things. Cotton can need a little more care, and attention from the wearer to help it last longer - but we should all get into the practice of looking after our clothes the best we can, to optimise their lifespan to make sure we're rocking our Yaks many years into the future, and to respect the person who made it!
