“Upon starting this project, I explored different mediums and textile production techniques I had never tried before and limited myself to. I tried hand-knitting for the first time, it was a learning experience of testing, analyzing, and practicing the process. Farm-to-fabric is a learning challenge for me, yet seeing the beauty of the imperfection in the process of product development helps me to value the products that I can hold in my hands, and value the people behind each harvest of the fibers.”

Anna Le “It was such an honor for me to be able to work with such exquisite fibers and experiment with various constructions through trial and error. Although I’ve been stressed and frustrated at times, I’m proud of the result and am excited to share my findings with others. I’m super appreciative of all the hard work my team has done these past few months.”

Austin Che “Exploring the distinct properties of abaca, piña, and mohair fibers has been a fascinating experience. There were moments of frustration when things didn't go as planned, but the satisfaction of creating beautiful, durable fabrics was immensely rewarding. I'm eager to showcase the innovative fabric blends we've developed. I am so thankful for the dedication and hard work of my team throughout these intense months of research and development. Their efforts have been crucial to our success.”

Burak Yilmaz “Our brand, Cere, highlights its provenance, nature, and uniqueness inherent to the finest fibers on earth: South African Mohair, Jacob wool, Pina, and Abaca. Following this, our distribution strategy, product development, and word building are signatures underscored by three pillars: storytelling, handcrafting, and collaboration.”

Colette Ward “As we bring our projects to life, we aim to conserve natural resources and offer innovative designs. Each of our products is crafted with handpicked materials and meticulous craftsmanship. Although there are times when the process is challenging, the extraordinary effort of my team and the obstacles we overcome together remind me of the value of our results. I am excited to share our final products with you and to everyone who has joined me on this journey. Our content, supported by photos and visuals, will make you a part of this unique experience too.”
