HERE TODAY HERE TOMORROW is a collaborative and experimental shop/studio that is used to make, showcase and sell sustainable fashion and accessories. Our aim is to connect the customer and local passer-by to the processes involved in making the products. Showing people the materials, skills and time required to create unique products by hand encourages customer engagement and understanding. Our work focuses on different elements of sustainability including high quality handmade craftsmanship, durability, locality, recycling, natural dye, organic materials, individuality, fair trade and transparency of production. In the future we hope sustainable fashion will be about longevity of products, beautiful design, reconnecting with nature, understanding limits and recapturing values

?!X: What’s the Future You Choose?

HT-HT: Our current system rewards people who choose short-term gains over a fairer happier future. We would like to see the future as being far more diverse with people being rewarded for their adaptability and experimentations. The more mutations of ideas and possibilities we try out the faster we can evolve into a viable society both for today and for future generations.
