Story mfg. was born out of a desire for a more authentic, fulfilling and kind approach to fashion -- one that doesn't involve a trade-off between aesthetics and consciousness. We are a husband and wife team and work with a large group of natural dyers, weavers, embroiderers and tailors at an atelier in the South Indian forest. Our products are designed to benefit the earth, our customers and the people we work with.
This collection, named “Fil Mish-Mish” translates literally from Arabic to say, When apricots bloom’ and it’s what linguists call an ‘idiom of improbability’. The closest English counterpart is ‘When pigs fly’ or ‘I wouldn’t count on it’. Although pigs won’t ever fly, that saying never feels quite like a hard ‘never’ and Fil Mish-Mish has that same sort of strength of statement.
STORY MFG. WAS BORN OUT OF A DESIRE FOR A MORE AUTHENTIC, FULFILLING AND KIND APPROACH TO FASHION – ONE THAT DOESN’T INVOLVE A TRADE-OFF BETWEEN AESTHETICS AND SUSTAINABILITY. COMPRISED OF A HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM, STORY MFG WORKS WITH A LARGE GROUP OF DYERS, WEAVERS, EMBROIDERERS AND TAILORS IN THEIR ATELIER IN THE INDIAN FOREST.
STORY MFG VIEWS CLOTHING AS SKINCARE, FOLLOWING AN APPROACH TO FABRIC AND DYES BY USING ONLY NATURAL, ORGANIC INGREDIENTS THAT BENEFIT THE PLANET AND ONE’S SKIN. ADDITIONALLY, ALL PIECES ARE VEGAN AND COMPLETELY CRUELTY-FREE. CURRENTLY, ALMOST EVERYTHING IS MADE FROM ORGANIC BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS THAT WILL BECOME NUTRIENT-RICH FERTILISER. THE NATURAL INDIGO SOURCING COMES FROM AN EFFORT TO FIX NITROGEN LEVELS IN OVER-TILLED AND FARMED SOIL, AND THE DYEING TAKES PLACE IN A RE-PLANTED FOREST WHERE ALL WASTE IS USED TO FERTILIZE THE GARDENS.
THE CONSTRUCTION METHODS ARE TRANSPLANTED FROM VINTAGE WORKWEAR AND MILITARY MAKING OUR GOODS DURABLE AND STRONG FOR THEIR LIFETIME. STORY MFG AIMS TO PROMOTE ARTISTIC PRACTICES AND FOSTER NEW ONES IN PLACES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MARGINALISED.
