Daub and Design
Daub + Design is a Vancouver based textile design studio, focusing on hand-dyed, locally produced garments. All items are unique as a limited amount of fabric is dyed and each garment is constructed individually. “Daub” is defined as the act of applying coloring material crudely to a surface. We create fabrics which have an organic element to the structure of their design through various methods of surface design. Whenever possible, Daub and Design uses natural, organic fibres. This season’s accessories focus on lightweight organic cotton and hemp scarves. www.daubanddesign.com
