The Wrap Life: A Collaboration

We believe in the value of collaboration, that great things are done by a series of small things brought together. Where there is a shared passion, the potential for collaboration is far more valuable than competition – and it is our mission to manifest this in our everyday. Together with our friends at The Wrap […]

Rangoli: You Are Welcomed Here

Earlier this year, we spent two weeks in India visiting our artisan partners and documenting the process of their craft. Our first stop was in Hyderabad, a city of pearls known for their biryani and keema samosa; and just an hour drive away was Pochampally – a small town celebrated for its ikat craft. Pochampally […]

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

An open letter to our community with an update on the #MATTERxMIAKODA range: MATTER began with an instinct to bring the beauty of fabric stories to life in a way that was accessible, relatable, and desirable. Stepping into a universe of heritage printing and weaving looms, we quickly fell in love with traditional textiles. The […]

Miakoda: A Collaboration

Something said often in our team is, where there is shared passion, the potential for collaboration is far more valuable than competition. It’s a belief that speaks to the core of our mission. With over 20 collaborations (and counting), we take pride in working with different artisans, designers, and brands, connecting people from different backgrounds to […]

Cut and Paste Lifestyle: A Collaboration

It is our belief that where there is shared passion, the potential for collaboration is far more valuable than competition. We chose MATTER as a brand name in large part because we wanted to create a collaborative company. We don’t have the vision of being a designer fashion label in the traditional sense, but a […]

The Warehouse Hotel: A Collaboration

Since we began, it was always our intention to create garments that hold a generation’s craft in its textiles, and a story in its prints. But we knew all along that we wanted to go beyond apparel. As we grew over the years, we explored working with various types of businesses and industries, with each […]

Matter Wraps: A Collaboration

The origin of the MATTER WRAPS was a confluence of opportunity, timing and the right intention. It began over a conversation in December with Aarika Lee. She approached us wanting to do something grounded on impact, and we talked about the possibility of creating headwraps with batik – which would allow more control with placement prints. We always […]

Kérastase: A Collaboration

Where there is shared passion, the potential for collaboration is far more valuable than competition – and it is our mission to manifest this in our everyday. We have had 11 collaborations so far.

The Tea Sommelier: A Collaboration

Anne-Carole is the founder of The Tea Sommelier, a business in Singapore created to educate and inspire respect for the Art of Tea. After working in Finance for a decade, she realized she wanted more out of her life. In her search, she came across a shop in Shanghai where she experienced a traditional Chinese […]

REMARKABLE RESILIENCE | Project Aipan

Preetika Sah is a designer from the Indian Himalayas we collaborated with to create a collection inspired by the traditional folk art of her community. The Aipan tradition is slowly diminishing through the age of time, and in a community where art is so intrinsically interrelated with their culture, to lose one is to lose the other. Over the […]

Amado Gudek: A Collaboration

An industrial complex would probably be the last place to expect an artisanal atelier, but that is where Elaine has set up her cosy workspace, cutely adorned with all things cats. In a space named after her pet cat Alfie, she experiments with mixed media for her sustainable jewellery label Amado Gudek. Using only eco-friendly […]
