It started out as a #LoveIsNotTourism trip to Berlin to see my partner, a pandemic Reise amids these strange, stagnating times. But somehow it happened, and somehow personal recommendations connected me to these 2 lovely creatives, Jakob and Claire, a talented photographer-model/muse couple who injected a spirit of Berlin coolness to Su by Hand. Jakob recently won the fashion photography award as part of FASH 2019 during Berlin Fashion Week.
It is so energising and inspiring to collaborate with creatives who are artists in their own right! This is also what I like most about keeping Su by Hand a small, authentic design-led brand. From the seamstress who sews my garments to the artist who creates that next amazing imagery, the connection and impact is direct.
The whole shoot was done in a piano rehearsal studio in Kreuzberg, thanks to Paul my partner who kindly shared his practise hours with us :)
ROOTS, our new collection of not-so-simple cuts in sustainable certified Tencel. Super luxe and comfy, easy-to-care for (machine washable!), functional (we love deep pockets) and well-made to last awhile.
