manifesto
MANIFESTO Our name transcends the mere musicality of its phonetics, nor was it chosen for its misconstrued symbolic meaning. It is as much our decision as it is a serendipi - tous chance to intertwine our design vision with such a peculiar, fascinating creature. Unique in every aspect, each of the 23 extant species of Vultures not only ignites further inspiration for our practice and craft but most importantly permeates the ecological significance and the very fundamentals of the way we operate. The materials we use are not arbitrarily picked but are a conscious choice aligned with our vision. Our goal is to scavenge not just the deadstock fabrications but mainly focus on use of various offcuts. We aim to fully operate on secondary market materials, reclaiming and repurposing scraps of sampling and productions, deliberately avoiding raw materials and distant manufacturers in favour of local sourcing. The leather we employ comprises a mix of offcuts and hides left over from other companies' production runs, making it post-industrial material sourced from London-based ateliers and samplers.  In our approach to shearling and fur, we adhere strictly to using only scraps and offcuts, all procured from London-based furriers. We are dedicated to seeking out, collecting, and purchasing their production and repair remnants – we do not buy or use full hides. Rejecting the standard of producing extensive collections, we create solely within the limits of our time and capabilities. Starting with a singular, thought-through object, we stand against the unsustainable cycle of consumerism, overwork, and lacklustre quality, focusing instead on intentional and sustaina - ble creation. Turning away from the ephemeral fashion seasons and contrived trends, our objects emerge as timeless works of craftsmanship. Each piece, infused with our narrative, is designed to be cherished across generations. In defiance of large-scale production, our objects are offered on a made-to-order basis, accompanied by rare and exclusive capsules in limited quantities. The beauty of remnants lies in their imperfections. Embracing 'scrap only' heightens this uniqueness, resulting in one-of-a-kind objects, where no two pieces are alike. We handcraft our objects, allowing the shape of each off-cut to guide us. This process balances our design intentions with the behaviour of the material and its form. By minimising or not altering what we receive at all, we ensure a production with virtually zero waste, staying true to the essence of our craft.  We hold a strong belief that repurposing offcuts generated during production represents a sustainable and ethical approach to leathercraft and fur, which we plan to apply to different categories and fabrications in our near future.
