Who makes the fabrics we sew with? 🌿 For TAUKO No. 18 Pockets, we spoke with @katiafabrics, led by strong women and owned by its people. When cheap imports threatened local production, they stayed in Spain—because “the company is its people,” says Núria.

How many pockets are too many? Our answer: there’s no such thing. After centuries of pocketless womenswear, we’re ready to celebrate pockets in all their glory. This issue dives in at full speed — practical, expressive, bold, and beautifully designed. Now ready for pre-orders, link in bio!

Did you know most women’s pockets are still designed to NOT fit everyday essentials — while men’s pockets fit everything you want to carry? Should we do something about this? In our POCKETS issue, we dive deep into the history and modern reality of pockets through articles, designs, and essays.
