An easy day today at Happy Hands. Julie and Cecilia talked to the whole group briefly and we began our mood board presentations.
The issue of labeling arose in both Julie and Cecilia’s talks. There is a certain detachment from the wearer and its origins. The buyer may never truly know how much time was put into a piece, the true value of it, who made it, and where it came from. Whilst many consumers may not care, labeling provides greater awareness of sustainability of crafts and materials. It may just be the incentive or justification to urge consumers to spend a little more on ethically produced items.
Consider a label project? For each artisan? That details the work, and some background info on the craft and the artisan.
My mood boards.
