A story of creativity, community, and conscious consumption.
Posted by EMMA STEVENS

At Untamed, we believe in fashion that tells a story – a story of creativity, community, and conscious consumption. We're passionate about collaborating with local artists to bring their incredible work to life on our unique apparel. But our mission goes beyond beautiful designs; it's about building a sustainable future, one stitch at a time.
We're incredibly excited to announce our latest collaboration with the immensely talented Ali Cat Arts, a local Fernie artist whose vision perfectly aligns with ours. Together, we've crafted a stunning collection that not only showcases Ali's breathtaking art but also champions a cause very close to our hearts: Wildsight.
Wildsight is a phenomenal local charity dedicated to protecting the wild heart of the Kootenays. A portion of every Untamed x Ali Cat Arts sale directly benefits Wildsight's vital conservation programs.
This means your purchase helps fund critical initiatives, such as wildlife monitoring, essential habitat restoration, and inspiring educational outreach that empowers the next generation of environmental stewards. When you wear a piece from this collection, you're not just making a fashion statement; you're actively contributing to the preservation of our precious natural world.
Using Up The Crumbs: Where Every Piece is a Masterpiece, Not Waste
Our commitment to the environment extends to every aspect of our production. We are thrilled to introduce our "Using Up The Crumbs" line – a true testament to our dedication to becoming a zero-waste company.
The fashion industry is notoriously wasteful, with vast amounts of fabric ending up in landfills. We're challenging that norm by taking all the leftover pieces of beautifully printed fabric from our main collections and transforming them into unique, one-of-a-kind designs. Each item in the "Using Up The Crumbs" line is a wearable piece of art, meticulously crafted from these "crumbs" that would otherwise be discarded. Learn More

Environmental Impact: You're directly contributing to reducing textile waste and preventing fabric from polluting our planet. It's a tangible way to help the environment with your purchasing power.
