IF FIRST BORN HAND CRAFTED KNITWEAR COULD TELL A STORY, IT WOULD BE A LOVE LETTER ...
In my threads are my ancestral traditions. Ive been woven together by love songs, adventures, moonlight, the energy of the sun and crisp mountain air.
I hold in each stitch the mysticism of late-night conversations and the preciousness of creating something by hand and over a long period of time.
OUR COMMITMENT
SLOWING DOWN
First Born represents an approach to the design, sourcing and manufacture of clothing which maximises benefits to people and communities, while minimising impact on the environment.
communities, while minimising impact on the environment.
HONORING THE HAND MADE
Celebrating and supporting traditional handmade practices from Peru and Argentina is one of our foremost commitments. Our pieces are crafted using artisan skills such as hand knitting, hand crocheting and embroidery, which preserve ancestral traditions and perpetuate the indigenous crafts and skills passed on through generations. We believe that by re-integrating artisanal products into the global market we are able to offer better economic, personal and community development opportunities for women and marginalised groups, while expanding
the audience for handcrafted, special and unique pieces.
TRANSPARENCY AND TRACEABILITY
When sustainability is your mission not only knowing where a product comes from but knowing and controlling with precision each and everyone of the processes that are necessary to obtain such a product is a necessity. We are so proud to say that All of our fibres are completely traceable.
