ABOUT THE KINDCRAFT

Together with our global team of contributors, THE KINDCRAFT publishes a digital magazine and a curated newsletter which explore all areas of the design and making process with original essays, trend reports, interviews, and photography. We also tell the stories behind many of the products we sell in THE KINDCRAFT SHOP, which features limited edition design collaborations and a curated collection of handmade goods and slow fashion. Our work has been profiled by WGSN and Entrepreneur Magazine and we now offer advisory and design services to brands, businesses and groups around the world who, like us, are invested in promoting more ethical design processes and the celebration of cultural heritage.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting @mollyhaynes_ Today I had the pleasure of meeting @mollyhaynes_ in her new studio in Los Angeles! I’ve been a fan of her work since we featured her in an article about @newyorktextilemonth on thekindcraft.com last year. After so many months in quarantine without travel, it was really special to meet IRL in the studio today. 🤍 Thank you for having me, Molly. Welcome to California! x x Lauren
