What Her Work Makes Possible

For Moshumi at Harvest Season, the value of her work extends far beyond the studio.

The income she earns through her work at Harvest Season helps support her household and contributes towards educating her children.

It is a simple thing, but a meaningful one: the ability to earn through a skill she has carried with her since she was young, while living close to home and working within a community she enjoys being part of.

This is one of the things we often forget when we talk about a garment being handmade.

Behind every piece is not simply a technique or a beautiful detail. There is someone's time, someone's skill and, often, someone's family and future.

For Moshumi, each piece of handwork is part of something much larger - work that helps run a home, educate children and build a future.

And perhaps that's what makes the details worth looking closer at.
