Cloth Tone is a textile studio based in British Columbia, Canada. Committed to designing with natural materials, sourcing responsibly and weaving unique, timeless and embodied textiles, Cloth Tone embraces a philosophy of ‘textiles for life’. Cloth Tone textiles honour the unique qualities of raw materials and evoke a strong sense of place, experience and emotion.

Cloth Tone is dedicated to exploring what it means to make slow cloth in a sustainable and embodied way while addressing themes related to the body, labor, the environment and materiality. If we turn our attention to cloth as a means for living sustainably into the future what are the possible outcomes?

Cloth Tone collaborates with designers, artists, writers and retailers with an interest in handwoven textiles and contemporary cloth culture.
