Historical costume studies for our book project

mindful mending

Valuing our clothes and the cost of fast fashion present countless environmental impacts of the clothing industry around the world. 

wonder | wander | women love our clothes both old and new - this is how we do our bit to enjoy them guilt free. So what's our sustainable clothing action plan? 

jeans #1 - laid out & worn

Through the years we've created our own opportunities to reduce the resource impacts of the clothing we own and wear - gaining benefits as we do. We'd like to share them here with you! 

busy bees: sewing project

wonder | wander | women often collaborate on projects, and our latest is the most fun one so far: an embroidery project! We got some beautiful linen shirts and are designing them together.

I'v only recently started learning how to sew again - I can hem sleeves and jeans, and sew on a button, but I have no idea how to embroider. Mom, on the other hand, can sew super fast and loves embroidery, but she likes working from a pattern instead of drawing one herself.

Dystopian anxiety is dominating discussions about the future, leaving younger generations paralyzed by despair. 

But research scientist and philosopher Samuel McKee argues we are being too pessimistic, placing too much blame on technology. 

Futurism: science & technology optimism

Greenwich: maritime monuments

Summer is ending before wonder | wander | women are ready, so we're looking back on sunny memories instead. We visited a friend at Greenwich and had a lovely stroll around the riverfront.
