System Analysis
Botanical Origin

The Spore Hoodie

Lifecycle Observation

Stage 1 — Origin

Harvest & Recovery

Tencel from certified forests. Nylon pulled from the Pacific Ocean. We start where others leave off.

Stage 2 — Processing

Raw Synthesis

Fibers spun into yarn without virgin plastic. No synthetic dyes. No shortcuts. A process that mimics organic growth.

Stage 3 — Construction

The Wind Factory

Cut and stitched in a 100% wind-powered facility in Northern Portugal. Mycelium jacquard woven directly into the interior.

Stage 4 — Detail Focus

The Wood Toggle

"This toggle is offcut pine from Alentejo, Portugal. Forest #: 00847. Every detail has a story. We wrote them all down."

Stage 5 — End of Life

Return to Soil

When it's done—and it will take years—it composts. Roots grow through it. The cycle loops. This is not sustainability. This is accountability.

The Repair Universe

Wear it to death.
Then fix it.

A garment you've repaired is worth more than a new one. We mean that financially and philosophically. We sell Repair Kits for every garment we make. Because the goal is to never sell you a replacement.

The Terra Repair Kit — $18

  • Matching thread to original run
  • Iron-on topographic patch
  • Reclaimed pine wood button
  • Field guide to common failures
