What I Do
I bridge the gap between high-volume retail and remote artisanal communities by identifying and brokering exclusive design partnerships. My platform operates as a global scouting residency, delivering curated, ethically sourced collections to brands seeking a competitive edge in the 'everyday luxury' market while combating unsustainable fast-fashion practices.
Mode Scout
The Mode Scout philosophy fights against unsustainable, feel-less fast fashion by promoting a discovery-first methodology that honors true craftsmanship. Acting as a bridge, leveraging hyper-traceability to ensure that heritage craftsmanship is preserved, not exploited, as it enters the global industry.
Can I Help You?
I connect high-volume buyers with micro-producers, ensuring hyper-traceability and fair market access for beautiful heritage crafts.
-
Prioritizing presence over proxy. Sourcing from the ground, not online.
-
Equity over extraction. Protecting the artisan’s margin through cost-plus pricing.
-
Transparency over trend. Valuing the story behind the creation, not the speed of the process.
Mission
As a Mode Scout, I am committed to ensuring your brand/retailer can discover untapped potential from designers and artists from all over the globe. I ensure ethical practices when working with local designers, so you don't have to worry about sustainable practices and what happens behind the scenes.
