Description
"With Making Stories Magazine, we strive to feature companies and makers who focus on sustainability, transparency, fairness and equity in their work. We love telling their stories and hope to inspire and enable crafters to make conscious and informed decisions about the materials they use and companies they support."
As Making Stories is moving into their 10th issue, they wanted to explore a theme that is at the very heart of Making Stories: To make something to love and wear for years to come.
Put into one word: Heirloom.
The designers drew inspiration from beloved heirlooms that were passed down to them or by the things they cannot wait to wear over and over again.
