The Beauty of Waiting
Sighthound Tales Enters Production
Hello everyone, and welcome back!
As you know from my last post, I shared the new material chosen for the Sighthound Tales project: Ecovero. Today I'm thrilled to announce that production of our first sample batch has finally begun!
These past days I’ve checked the color rendering on the fabric, and the results surprised me: I never imagined they could be so intense and harmonious. After some fine adjustments, everything is ready to move forward.
Watching the first pieces take shape has been truly moving—from paper to fabric, from sketch to color, each step transforms into something tangible. It's like witnessing a birth, where every detail finally finds its place.
Quality over Quantity, Sustainability over Speed
In a world that prioritizes quantity over quality, I've chosen to flip the script. Small steps that will make a profound difference—steps our planet will thank us for.
Choosing to slow down doesn't mean stopping; it means honoring every stage of creation. I don't want products that wear out quickly. I want pieces with stories to tell, accessories that endure and accompany their wearers through life.
My production follows demand-based manufacturing. With a defined number of orders, I can focus entirely on the quality I offer. This means achieving exceptional quality and meticulous craftsmanship requires a six-week wait.
Time that, honestly, isn't so long considering the work behind it. It's the right rhythm for careful creation—respecting artisan traditions and environmental needs. After all, anticipating something we truly desire makes us appreciate the final result even more.
An Wait Worth Every Moment
I know six weeks might feel eternal to many of you—we're conditioned to want everything instantly. But I promise the wait is worthwhile.
When we decided to adopt Terence, we waited two months for his arrival from Spain to Italy. I remember that wait feeling endless… yet the moment he entered our home and became family, we realized every day of waiting had been precious and necessary.
Of course, Terence's arrival isn't comparable to waiting for a foulard—obviously. But that experience taught me waiting doesn't mean losing time: it means valuing the outcome, living each phase with awareness, and truly appreciating what we receive.
Building Something Beautiful Takes Time
This is the heart of Sighthound Tales: transforming love for these extraordinary dogs into accessories that tell their stories while supporting their rescue.
Every pattern reflects their elegance. Every purchase supports their cause. Every piece honors the bond between human and sighthound.
Thank you for being part of this journey. The most beautiful things are always worth the wait.
