Provenance system
How every piece is documented
This page explains the information chain supplied to buyers: who made the work, where it was made, what it contains and how it was produced.
Documented by origin
Four facts travel with the work
Name

Substance
Silver, indigo cotton, reclaimed cloth, silk or tin, described in product-specific language.
Technique
The key hand processes used to make the piece, from wire drawing to wax resist or hand weaving.
For retail teams
A usable record, not only a story
