MOTHERLOAD.

So the seafoam gods were smiling on us this week, when we found 20+ yards of seafoam satin, second hand at value village. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! SO MUCH SEAFOAM.

Vintage fabrics are always a good find for the eco friendly designer - but vintage fabric in copious amounts AND in our gang colour is a RIDICULOUSLY OUT OF CONTROL AMAZING find.

New jackets here we come!

Evolution of a Bike Gang Jacket...

In the beginning, we used old jean jackets. We hacked the arms off to make them into vests, and then Mzungu silk screened 'Deadly Nightshades' onto the back of them. This was back when the bike gang was pretty much a big, over the top inside joke for the four of us. (Not the world famous, loved-but-feared bike crew that we are now).
We had alot of fun in those jackets...

Eventually the bike gang grew to five members, and then seven... And we knew it was time for a new gang jacket.

And we had even MORE fun in those jackets. They became our most beloved piece of clothing, our trademark, our seafoam green pillows when we passed out at a party. Hells, they even got knocked off by American Apparel. But now, the DNS have moved on past the step two jackets. Now, we need... (dramatic pause) STEP THREE JACKETS! (*bum bum bum*).
We're working on them night and day in our secret Nightshades Lair. Stay tuned...
