Perfectly timed for fashion week, Poplin Project is bringing its sustainable collection of casual wear for men, women, and children to Berlin with their pop-up store this weekend. Each wax-print garment is hand-cut and processed in Abidjan and Grand Bassam on the Ivory Coast with locally sourced, handmade traditional African textiles displaying intricate patterns and vivid colors — ranging from deep reds to pretty pinks, ocean blues to show stopping oranges. One third of Poplin Project’s profits support social efforts in and around the Ivory Coast, focused this year on the women’s cooperative Sissi Barra – an organization supporting independent women coal workers in the port area of San Pedro. For the perfect pop of color for your summer wardrobe, get to Poplin Project’s pop-up, tomorrow and Friday (7-8.7.17) only. (Text: Devan Grimsrud / Photos: Poplin Project)
