First Design by Debra First is a studio of artisan heirlooms made slowly across three rooms: Paper, Cloth, and Heirloom. Botanical works, mended textiles, and antique jewelry come together as objects dense with detail and the story of their material. Each piece honors the hand of the maker and the life already lived by what it's made from. I upscale denim by patching kimono fabric with sashiko stiching creating every wearable piece to be a one of a kind.
