I felt now was the right moment for a little switch up in how I label all of my pieces, and so with that in mind, in recent months I’ve spent a lot of time labouring over how exactly to do that. For some time I’ve felt as if the hem label no longer represented the look and feel I wanted to put out, but I also loved it as a medium to display hidden messages (like the words woven into the underside of the label only the wearer can see), so I didn’t want to lose such a valuable canvas. I settled on a (kind of) radical idea of removing the hem tag completely, splitting the design in two, and using...
Hi everyone,I’m pleased to be able to say this, and also a little anxious, but it’s for the best and I’m so happy that I’m now at this point: made-to-order will no longer be available from Wednesday 17th March.From that date, all current pieces on the store will be made unavailable for the time being.

I wanted to speak to you all directly about my plans for KULT over the next 12 months and beyond. It’s been clear for quite some time that keeping over 100 pieces available as made-to-order is a difficult and exhausting task, which pretty much birthed my absence last year. So, with that being...
To everyone, You may have noticed a lack of social media posts, new products, responses to enquiries/messages, and a general absence of KULT’s sardonic and emotion-capturing presence recently. There’s good (not so much good, rather just plainly honest) reasoning for my step back from the business almost a year ago in September of last year, but in order to explain it fully, I first need to offer a little bit of back story to KULT and how things bloomed into existence.KULT is the product of one mind, one pair of hands, a huge amount of sewing and screen printing, along with an intense volume of worry and perfectionism. In essence, KULT is just an extension of me: Sam. It’s a way...
