At Edie & Ophelia, we want to change how we experience textiles and fashion, bringing people closer to the art and craft of making and caring for the garments they already own. At our core is the entrenched philosophy for sustainable and ethical ways of keeping our garments for longer by encouraging a change in our perspective and mindset. By considering how a wearer develops a relationship with their clothing - because more often than not, how a garment is worn or used leaves an imprint of the wearer on the piece - I am seeking to reveal the stories related to the wearer and the garment. We understand that movement, tears, rips and creases of a well-worn and loved item tell our stories. And these stories have meaning. And it’s through these stories that attachment is formed.
