Alison Youl and Daub + Design

Daub + Design is happy to announce a collaboration with Alison Youl as our accessories designer for Eco Fashion Week.  Youl’s necklaces and earring are made primarily from recycled materials or materials destined for a landfill. She aims to use even the smallest pieces of reclaimed leather so that nothing goes to waste. Alison encourages us to look at our unwanted goods in a new light and to recycle, recreate and revive our goods rather than throw them away.

Alison Youl’s work can be found at Portobello West Market
on the last Sunday of every month.

Come Visit Us at Our Gastown Studio!

Daub + Design is usually out and about, all over Vancouver with our goods in tow at various shows and events. This September we’re taking it pretty easy on that front as we are preparing for Eco Fashion Week, October 5-7, 2011. That being said, we will be working on tons of new items for fall. You, as a valued consumer, are welcome to shoot us an email ( info@daubanddesign.com) to arrange a time to come by the studio to check out these goods. We LOVE having guests at the studio – we just like a heads up so we’re not covered in dye or out for lunch!

Stay tuned for more information about ECO Fashion Week!
