In collaboration with Burt’s Bees Baby, garments are designed and manufactured using scraps from the Building 14 manufacturing division. Small off-cuts of organic cotton jersey, rib, and waffle knits are reimagined into baby tops, cardigans, hats, pants and dresses, including hand-embroidered bees.
