Patrick was one of the first designers to develop a direct relationship with organic farm collectives in Peru and he has helped to innovate the use of botanical dyes, recycled fabrics and organic wool yarns, and resurrected traditional and effectively eco-conscious practices including hand-weaving and whole-animal leather production.
Patrick has also pushed his vendors in Japan to create next-generation sustainable textiles and his factories in China to adopt more sustainable manufacturing methods.
