“All the matter in nature is light: mountains, streams, the air, and so much that we ourselves are light.”
Anchored by a black colorway and brought to life through vegetable tanning, the collection embodies Fooooobag’s invitation to look inward, honor life’s imperfections, and embrace one’s own light.
