"Frida Lives" Hand Cut & Sewn Byas & Leon Original
$62.90
Celebrating 10 years of Byas & Leon, it is our pleasure to introduce one of two hand cut & sewn shirts, this one being named “Frida’s Garden”
Featuring a robust canvas cotton print fabric with lush illustrations of painting legend Frida Kahlo, immersed in plant life and a few small animals. Hand cut & sewn by a small tailoring shop in Cap Haïtien, Haiti, led by longtime craftswoman Josie :)
This was Byas & Leon’s original mission when we started in 2012, to connect with grass roots tailors of our native Haiti and pay them better than a so-called “living wage” - giving them a pathway towards building more prosperous lives with.
We are staunchly anti sweatshop, inhumane working conditions and hours, etc - our tailors are everyday mothers and fathers that give an honest day’s work and go home to their families. All while navigating Haiti’s volatile socio-political climate. So please note that each shirt will be slightly different - giving them *more character, not less. Every single one is made with love though, and the hope for a better life, a better future. Available now while supplies of this small batch last :)
Jade is 5’7 and is of slim build, wearing a size M. Reece is 6’0 and is of athletic build, wearing a size XL. The shirt is designed with a classic fit. Wash In Cold Water, Tumble Dry low. You may dry clean as well.
