The award-winning scientist, environmentalist and broadcaster, Dr. David Suzuki, was so impressed by the detailed intarsia-knit portrait we created for him, that we are working with the David Suzuki Foundation by donating a Suzuki sweater. This signed sweater will be auctioned off at Vantage. All proceeds go to the foundation. Please stay tuned for the auction date.

In a world were you can speak to anyone, what do you want to say?
Emblems and icons, of colours, patterns, smells and more, are the building blocks, the raw components of a community and compose our cultural identity. We have collectively created and assembled this library of identity, and it is something we implicitly agree to share. Over time, it is this library that becomes the history, meaning and expression of our cultural experience.
In this information age, everything is competing for our attention. In this global age, identity is blurring and brands - in place of locations - are gaining in currency. To keep our material culture from disappearing, it must be exercised and never allowed to become narrow or stagnant. As creatives, the more we use our shared identity in our work, the more flexible and robust our culture becomes and our symbols become inspirational fountains.
Fond of our sweaters but want to add your own colour combo? Well you can customize. Here's our Flamingo sweater but in the marble blue/ivory melange which a customer requested. A great colour combo that brightens up the cold, winter days! Contact us for more details.
We collaborated with a boutique owner of Four Horsemen in Victoria BC, and designed a set of limited edition sweaters.

We designed another one-off, Canadian Heritage-style sweater, this time paying tribute to the one and only great Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Our sweater received many compliments by wild beer-swiggin', hot-dog-eating Canadian fans on the best night of the week - Hockey Night In Canada, baby! Yeaaahhh...
Granted can now create custom designs. To show you that no design is too complicated, we've paid tribute to David Suzuki, a Canadian environmentalist and science broadcaster.
