Sara Tori of Sartoria knows what all we Canadian folks need to get us through the depths of our epic winters. Her long-johns, tank tops and undies are made with love from reclaimed materials of the highest quality to keep you cozy as you cycle down windy streets, bustle to and from subway stations or just lounge around your living-room on a cool fall evening. Merino and cashmere wool sweaters are taken apart and re-sewn into one of a kind cozy garments, perfectly fit for a wide variety of body sizes and heights with no sacrifices made of style in the name of keeping warm.
We are so happy to be showcasing Sartoria in the Summer Craft Fair so we asked asked Sara to send us a little bit about about herself. She had some lovely things to say about her upcoming collection and all the wonderful folks it's dedicated to:
"The 2011.2012 collection : Entangling with Hope
This collection pays homage to individuals in every land who knew and know that to nurture hope is to keep alive the richest aspects of being human. Sartoria salutes these people who, in the face of atrocity and oppression, hold and nurture hope, in themselves and in community.
This collection is dedicated to all of you who are entangling with hope. who are finding a way to keep your spirit alive in these turbulent times. Who are remembering that compassion runs incredibly deep in us and who are reclaiming our value from the mandates of the government and the corporations. These luxurious fibres gifted from our animal allies, these pieces are made for you."
Sara totes her sewing machine along with her to top craft fairs like the Distillery Art Market and One Of A Kind Show in toronto as well as the Circle Craft show in Vancuver B.C. (and of course this weekend at the Summer Craft Fair!) You can also find her on line in her Etsy shop.
While I hate to say that fall is now fast approaching, I cant wait to pick up a pair of these lovely undies to match the tank top I already own (and love!) I'm hoping to spend winter entangled in some blankets adding my Sartoria outfit to the layers of natural wool I rely on for surviving the cold.
