In the fabric warehouse, every piece of cloth has its own temperament. Cotton and linen must be picked in the early morning when the dew has not dried yet to retain the softest breathability; the length of velvet must be screened three times to ensure that it sticks to the skin like being gently stepped on by a cat's paw; denim must be washed more than ten times by stone mill until it presents the texture of an old friend that "has been washed many times but is still crisp." Lina, the warehouse manager, always says: "Good fabrics will speak for themselves, you just need to listen carefully."
I have seen too many girls who are too tight in their dresses, and I have heard women in the workplace complain that "nice pants always get stuck in the crotch". So we added invisible elastic bands to suit pants, so that girls running around in meeting rooms and subway stations can stride fast; raised the waistline of the dress by two centimeters to just cover the belly of postpartum mothers; and sewed a label on the inside of the sweater, with "Please be gentle when washing in a machine" written in a gentle font.
A customer said in an email that she wore our linen shirt to her daughter's graduation ceremony. "When the wind blows, the fabric sways against my skin, just like the feeling when I held her 20 years ago." It turns out that clothes really turn into amber of time, hiding those unspeakable emotions in the gaps of the fibers.
We have never thought about defining "what women should wear", but we stubbornly believe that when a piece of clothing can make you laugh freely, run boldly, catch your fatigue, and support your joy, it has surpassed the meaning of clothing. Just like the bakery on the corner that has been open for 30 years, it doesn't need a fancy sign, but only uses the aroma of freshly baked wheat to tell you that there is always warmth waiting for you here.
