about bonaca

bonaca is a dalmatian word for a windless sea, the hours when the water goes still enough to mirror everything above it. it's the peace my grandmother misses, and the thing i look for here in new york.

the city and the coast look like opposites, but they run on the same tides: the rush and the stillness, the crowds and the quiet hours.

we make small-batch pieces from natural materials, built to be kept. objects found and garments made between the city and the sea.

what you wear has always been a way of saying where you come from and where you’re going.

fashion is a dialect.
