SLOOOW HANDS 

Based in Riga, Latvia, Slooow Hands takes a sustainable approach towards their clothing by sourcing vintage shirts and carefully embroidering over them. From dinosaurs, to detailed flowers and elephants, to a replication of Matisse’s painting ‘The Dance’, it’s difficult not to be curious about what they will come up with next. With every shirt being one of a kind, it helps make it that extra bit more special and ensures you won’t spot anyone sporting the same top as you.
