UNIONMADE NATURALS


The Naturals Collection was simply about the absence of color. It was a study in naturals, ecrus, stones, and khakis. A perfect palette for light, summery, easy pieces. We developed a natural selvedge canvas with Cone Mills that we applied to Golden Bear work coats, Filson briefcases, and Raleigh jeans. We worked with Alden on suede shoes and dessert boots. And we expanded our partners to include Japanese brand, Journal Standard, UK brand, Tender, and illustrator Wayne Pate. I collected fabric scraps from the production and made quilts that we used as the background for the lookbook, shot by Andrew Paynter.
