Passing Threads

By: Maisara Mohamed, Sean Alberto, Aleksa Ritchie, Mikaella Ageday, Jessie Belle

Collection Overview

Our collection is about legacy. The hand me downs that stood the test of time, through loss, love and rebirth, woven into the threads of our individual pieces. From cultural garments to Christmas gifts… our mother’s pasts carry on through our presents and endure into our futures. Holding the memories, values and stories of the women who wore them, these pieces display so much more than style. “Passing Threads” highlights the connection between mothers and their children, beyond the fabric our pieces symbolizing identity, creativity and heritage. Serving as a reminder to cherish not only the material items, but the beauty woven inside them.
