02 · The Vision

Latex does not begin in a dungeon or a boutique. It begins with a tree.

From Forest
to Skin.

Natural rubber latex begins with Hevea brasiliensis. Black & Shiny explores the material before it becomes fashion: cultivation, tapping, processing, chemistry, manufacturing, labor, ecology, and the possibilities of more transparent sourcing.

The long-term vision is a traceable, agroforestry-minded, single-source latex supply chain that connects the people who grow rubber with the people who ultimately wear it.
