i can definitely tell you if it’s alpaca if you let me touch it (i am allergic to alpaca)

If you want to check the fabric content of your grandmothers coat without the 18million dollar piece of equipment you can unpick the lining and cut a small piece out of the seam allowance and do a burn test. There’s lots of charts online that will show you how different fibres react. Definitely wouldn’t be as accurate but would give you some idea and it’s pretty easy to see if it’s a natural fibre or not because synthetics burn like plastic. Also love all the stories connected to your clothes!

i have something simlar to the grail problem that most of yall should know or probably know and thats the newness factor. when get a piece and its really good and its exciting and you wear it all week maybe all month. its this honeymoon phase of sorts, but eventually that novelty can wear off and you just jones for the next new and exciting piece. i almost equate it to a white whale situation. so yeah be mindful of the white grail phenomenon please

I think independence is great, but it’s not for everyone. Conde and the others should pay their fair share to the people who do their work 💫💫

My tailor is an awesome woman named Viv who doesn’t speak a lot of English. If she did, I would be so down to get roasted 😭

Alice

Would your tailor do an interview? It would be so cool to hear their perspective and roasting of some choice pieces! Even a break down of how they approach alterations...

There's a possibility you could get the zipper on your jacket repaired at a luggage repair place (or certainly replaced by a tailor). Idk if luggage repair would be willing to do clothing, but they have a lot of zipper expertise. Lovely to hear about your family's relationship to clothing and objects also. Your grandfather's attitude of nice clothing as a solution to a problem reminds me of a writing exercise I was asked to do in a class setting that I return to about every six months. It's a series of questions on why and how you get dressed and what you're trying to say when you do--seems like he knew his own answers to these questions quite clearly.

Recently thought the massive tech, video game layoffs we're seeing more and more that even working for these big corporations is also a gamble. Why not be independent if you can?
