Thread Safari is a house built around dressing well, head to toe — canvas, horn, and brass, cut to travel further than the season.
Thread Safari began as a single canvas jacket, cut for a photographer who wanted to look assembled after three weeks off the grid. It became a house — one that still measures every collection against that same, unreasonable standard.
We work in the materials that earn their character over time: waxed cotton canvas, vegetable-tanned leather, horn and brass hardware sourced from the same foundries our first patterns came from. Nothing here is distressed by a machine. It's distressed by wear.
— The Atelier, Thread Safari
Six pieces from the current catalog, numbered as they were logged into the atelier ledger.
We source in small runs from mills and tanneries we've worked with for years — nothing goes into a Thread Safari piece without a name attached to where it came from.
Alterations, grooming, and styling — because looking put-together is more than one garment.
