There is a new name for originality, ‘A Code of Origin’
Sometimes you come across a company you have to blog about just because it feels so good! A Code of Origin is one of those companies. Today I met Lieke, founder of A Code of Origin and this girl really put a smile on my face. The way she talks about the products, the colorful fabrics, about Laos and all the great people she met. She loves Laos, fact. She loves the culture, the kindness of the people and she adores the fabrics they make. Fabrics overloaded with old elements, special designs and covered in that great history Laos is so well known about. Lieke and Laos first met in 2009 and fell head over heels in love with each other. And as she couldn’t say farewell to Laos she brought it home and as of June 2011 Lieke is the proud mother of ‘A code of Origin’, made in Laos. The products Lieke and her Design team in Laos and Thailand develop are unique and authentic but all with a modern touch.
So please don’t think dusty grey colors, think bright modern Ibiza colors, think happy colors! And who would have thought that a baby hat would end up in Holland as a clutch or a baby carrier as a handbag. All products have their own uniqueness, their own story and therefore their own character.
The products are as said developed in Laos and Thailand. Most of the pieces are made by the Hmong, an Asian ethnic group from the mountainous regions and by the Akha & Tai Lue people. As A Code of Origin believes in the stimulation of (fair)trade they invest 25% of the profit into a social project on Laos called ‘Love Fashion, shop for Change’. If you want to know more about A Code of Origin’s vision and why they develop their products in Laos and Thailand, please visit their website it’s full of useful information.
For now the product line contains bags, home interior and children’s accessories. But they are busy with developing a women’s and children’s clothing line. A Code of Origin is for sale at SWAH, The Hubshop and Sukha-Amsterdam and soon at their own webshop.
A Code of Origin doesn’t do mass production, they deliver beautiful handmade products made by local Designers with an ‘eye and taste for fashion’. Pieces that make you happy, pieces with a memory.I am hooked!
