how this happened...

Our founder, Sara, worked as a graphic designer focusing on type design, color, and illustration. As a parent to a toddler, Sara began redesigning and repurposing children's clothing that had been soiled or grown out of. Aiming to begin a company making children's clothing, Sara was diverted by the pandemic, and put the vision on a shelf.

​

Six years later, Sara moved to a new state, got divorced, and decided to warm up the old dream for a new day. Now, Sara is working from her small apartment, with a kitchen table that doubles as a cutting table, and book shelves repurposed to house fabrics.

​

In her quiet time, she walks the forest next to her apartment, coordinates monthly trash clean ups, teaches children how to track deer, makes sculptures from the thick vines, then spirits the sculptures back into the trees to gather spiderwebs and bird nests.

our ethos...

Nothing is created and nothing destroyed. Everything transforms.
When we consider the scale of transformation -
star into planet,
planet into tree,
tree into oxygen,
oxygen into water,
water into flesh and bone,
bone into rock,
rock into soil,
soil into tree,
tree into oxygen,
and on and on -
we catch awareness of our eternal connectedness. We've always been together and always will be.
This inspires a spirit of stillness and joy. 

At kravigfjord, we play and create with discarded fabrics, instead of newly manufactured, to avoid adding burden and pollution to the environment. And with this, we acknowledge the lovely truth that nothing is new, but it can be different from what it was. Every artist builds their messages from those who came before them. We honor those who teach us, and we hope to build on their visions, as we hope future generations will take our works and ideas and do something unexpected with them.
