Dana Lee Brown is a collection of clothing made with a mindful approach to the origins and formation of garments. In an industry that has us celebrating the mere mention of the country where a garment was sewn, it is rare to come across a brand mentioning soil as a recognized part of a garment's origins.
Designer, Dana Lee Brown, views her garments as collaborations with farms + mills. Each piece carries a label hand-chronicling a journey that begins with soil. The brand's shop on Bowen Island, British Columbia (as well as the website) offers more detail on farms, fibers and the process behind each piece.
Organic cotton is grown on three carefully chosen farms in California, New Mexico and Texas. Wool comes from sheep raised with regenerative practices on two farms in Ontario + California. Regeneratively grown indigo + foraged plants such as walnut hulls are used as natural dyes.
It's brands like these that expose what a garment can be. Each one of these pieces really does feel like a valuable education, an enlightened journey, a storied treasure. Spending time absorbing all of this naturally brings forward the question, "How many things do I need when each one is this precious?"
