Échapper
Échapper was conceived as a response to growing worldwide interest in and movement towards useful, healthy, and responsibly made products. The intention is to design and produce humble, resilient, and beautiful products to use and wear. Échapper aspire to ‘do more good and create less harm’ in the way they work and think about design and commerce. The objective is to work with raw, tactile natural fibres—such as soft wool, flax-linen, and responsibly grown brown cotton—all of which are carefully sourced and sensitively processed. The materials are finished and manufactured in specialist factories across Japan. Finished products are either raw (uncoloured) or uniquely botanically dyed with non-toxic pigments, which are safely colour-fixed for a long-lasting finish.
