Production is not a neutral act. Every decision is a statement of values.
DAW holds a position that permits no exceptions and no compromise: not toward people, not toward animals, not toward the environment.
Ethical production
DAW does not engage with any supplier, manufacturer or production partner that operates under conditions of child labour, forced labour, wage suppression, or unsafe working environments.
Fair working conditions
DAW uses no animal-derived materials of any kind. This includes leather, wool, silk, down, fur, and any material whose production causes harm or exploitation. There are no exceptions and no gradations. The commitment is total.
ANTI Animal CRUELTY
DAW produces in considered quantities. I do not participate in the fast fashion model: its pace, its volume or 1ts values of labour and of the environment.
My response is deliberate restraint: fewer pieces, made with intention.
