2020 Has Changed Me Forever An Artist's Statement, from Kat An adventurer at heart, I've always lived my life focusing on new connections, new places, and new experiences. I felt ready to conquer the world; unafraid of the consequences of being freewheeling, spontaneous, and perhaps a bit brash. When the pandemic hit, my biggest fear wasn't the virus. It was actually the thought of losing myself and the freedom that I valued more than anything. I went into protection mode, holding that wild part of me back and tucking it away somewhere safe. I assumed that it would re-emerge easily when the...
*Before reading this blog post, I highly recommend that you read this article written by Emi Ito, a Japanese-American who speaks about cultural appropriation of traditional Japanese garments. I consulted with Emi while writing this piece, and feel that it is important to first know her opinion before reading mine. The image of the Haori in this article is one of my original inspiration photos for FW20. Recently, a customer posed a question to me: Why have I named a Pamut garment, the Uma Haori, after a traditional Japanese garment? Some people consider this to be cultural appropriation, and could be offended...
As you may have heard, we moved to a new studio at the start of 2021! This was a very exciting transition, since we had long run out of space in our old location (Charity and I were constantly bumping into each other, and the tiny space made keeping clean so much more difficult). We were excited to get back to work after our Winter Break and finalizing our new setup. Here's just a peek at what we're working on day-to-day! Organizing Our New Shop Area Our goal (once things are safe again!) is to allow appointments for customers...
Meet Charity, our newest employee! Charity has been so helpful as I reach that stage in business where the focus is growth. She is learning so much and I’m so excited about the talent and ideas that she’s been contributing to Pamut in the short time since she’s been at the company. Charity has been working with us since May, and I finally had time to ask her some questions about herself and her work. Read on to learn more about our newest hire! Kat: “Tell me a bit about you and your background.” “My name is Charity Lane. I...
With the new organic t-shirt line releasing soon, you may want to know which size you should choose. The great thing about cotton tees is that they’re stretchy, and therefore an easy fit! About Our Tees I’ve spent a lot of time making tees! In fact, they were the first garments I ever made for Pamut (when I started the company back in Budapest, Hungary in 2014). When I moved back to NC, I immediately started working on a local supply chain for t-shirts. After lots of phone calls and meetings all over the state, I was able to set...
