BE BOLD THIS WINTER WITH VLA WINTER SERIES

Glove-hand-made by Mitzi Eppley, our masks are created with input of Boston area surgeons and seamstresses for your safety. Aiming to minimize air leakage, these masks come in four sizes, each with three layers of fabric and a wire setting to comfortably fit over your nose.

 

Sourcing Information The outer fabric is purchased from Massachusetts local fabric store, Gather Here founded by Virginia B. Johnson.

LIMITED CAPACITY OF OUR FIRST SHIRT SERIES

Our shirts highlight underrepresented voices who are local New England artists. Each shirt series will run for a period of 3-4 months. The first artist is, Aaron Brown, whose practice, "is the visual manifestation of a sonic timeline fed through an industrial grinder." He designed a striking landscape collage to adorn the front of our very first VLA shirt.
