ERIN CONSIDINE = SUSTAINABILITY

Imagine having a friend, who could make you an incredible necklace, cast entirely from recycled metals, used ethically sourced fibers, which she just hand dyed in a saucepan, using the dye from a madder root...
Erin Considine would be that friend. Living and working in Brooklyn NY, with a mind to ensure almost every step of the process is finished by Erin herself, she uses recycled and manipulated metals, cottons and silks all ethically sourced and with this collection, braided using the meditative method of Kumihimo and dyed using the natural extracts of the logwood, cutch, madder root and Turmeric.
