Right out the Cantaloupe fields of Westside, rural California. From San Francisco to Brooklyn to Santa Cruz.

Thrifting like my life depends on it. (Click)

Thinking about all the hands and resources that went into making these clothes to house our bodies, and help us express the things we cannot always say.  Did you know it takes around 1,800 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to produce just one pair of regular blue jeans?! That's like 1 gallon of water, every day for almost 5 YEARS!! Not to mention the bent backs that pick the cotton and the callused hands that sewed them. It's only right in my mind, that we wear them again and again and agin until there's no more memories to be made.
