Still Life August 30, 2011
We were so happy to have Toronto’s Muttonhead Collective arrive in time to coincide with this past weekend’s Still Life For Her store launch! Muttonhead brings sisters Mel and Meg Sinclair together with friend Paige Cowan resulting in a refreshingly new brand with the strength and heart of a classic, quality-focussed heritage line. All garments are designed and manufactured in Toronto - as manufacturing locally allows Muttonhead to fully control quality and to guarantee sweatshop free, fair trade and ethical practices. Each collection incorporates natural and sustainable fibres such as recycled hemp, bamboo, organic cotton, merino wool and tencel and utilizes many recycled details such as leather, denim and velvet.
Branded and marketed as a quality, rugged, unisex brand Muttonhead debuts on the women’s side at Still Life For Her today appealing to the strong, adventurous west coast girl who appreciates quality, detail and strong production.Muttonhead supports a lifestyle based on sustainability and responsible consumerism and a return to locally crafted and hand-made. Their movement towards sustainable garments that their consumers can be proud to wear incorporates natural fibres into every garment with the future goal of making the entire brand 100% compostable. Essentially, Muttonhead Collective is manufacturing clothing that adapts to the always-changing, modern environment and lifestyle: it’s simple.
A line of clothing we are proud to finally stock at Still Life, Muttonhead Collective Autumn 2011 is a very strong collection from the young Canadian line. With basic merino wool cropped tees, leather-pocketed organic cotton/hemp long sleeves,stretch cotton with recycled leather breeches and the strongest organic cotton/hemp trouser we’ve ever seen is looking very prepared for a west coast autumn. Also available are a variety of quality accessories including recycled fibre change/card pouches and organic cotton/hemp rucksacks. Muttonhead Collective has been making a lot of waves in the retail fashion game with only a handful of shops internationally stocking the line - come by the new Still Life For Her (550 Johnson Street) and see what Muttonhead is all about.
