Right, so here's the thing about handmade. It's not a production line. It's not a 9-5 job where you clock out and forget about it.

fast fashion designed to fail. designed to keep you buying the same thing over and over. designed to make you think that's normal.

but the alternative community didn't build itself on disposable gear.

45 handmade makers refusing that system. leather that lasts. corsets that fit. gear that matters.

Watching Jed Phoenix cut patterns with such precision and care - this is what it looks like when clothing is made FOR you, not AT you.

The emotion of wearing something made-to-measure is different. You feel seen. Valued. Powerful. Your body isn't a problem to solve, it's something to celebrate.

ARE YOU TOO RUDE FOR E###? 🚫

From shadow bans to platform culls, it's hard times indeed for small alternative businesses. We know a lot of the mainstream platforms have issues with some of the products we sell, often resulting in account closures and shadow bans. But there's another way.
