THE SUMMER OF THE CRAB
Fishing for crabs, making sandcastles and other summertime pursuits all form part of the leisure strategy of the children and also of those adults who, freed from the burden of being adults, remember the time when they used to scout the sands for shellfish, echoing the grueling work of hundreds of women who fishes in the Atlantic waters of the Galician coastline, collecting some of the popular mollusks that give fame and prestige to our gastronomy.
The seaweed, crustaceans, bivalves, and other delicacies found on the coast are a clear sign of the quality of the waters, as well as their potential for life. On the margins of the estuaries there are also different ecosystems, strategic spaces that provide a unique setting thanks to their biological singularity.
Sandbanks that submerge and emerge from the water capriciously with the tidal cycle are equally a place for recreation, fishing and exploitation, as well as the source of one of the most significant sectors in Galicia, the canning industry..
D-due’s garments are full of strength and identity. They are special and have their own character. Each item is designed and tailored with an artistic, artisanal approach, exclusive illustrations painted or embroidered by hand.
Linen is sustainable because it comes from an organic crop that is resistant and does not require pesticides or fertilizers. Linen is a lightweight, but also strong and durable fabric. Its low elasticity means that the design of the garments does not warp. This is why D-due linen garments have a long service life.
D-due’s “studio label”. All this creative work is directed in multiple directions, creating its own, exclusive language. The studio is a research space, where ideas and actions take shape, revealing a unique approach towards artistic processes.
THE COLORS OF OUR ENVIRONMENT ARE THE COLORS OF OUR COLLECTIONS
Throughout the history of the Galician people, the sea has been a space that has blurred the frontiers of its geography, serving as a backdrop for daily life as important as the dry land. Since time immemorial, Galician men and women have had a magical, contradictory relationship with the sea, something that has helped to forge some of the most significant facets of our identity over the centuries.
