In the lush, salt-kissed wilds of Vancouver Island, where the earth breathes in moss and memory, Sandra Prest Froher is not merely creating fashion; she is conducting a dialogue with the land. A Canadian artist, fashion designer, and natural dyer of Stó:lō descent, Prest-Froher has rooted her creative universe in the sacred act of listening to her ancestors, to the elements, and to the invisible energies that pulse through time and fabric alike.

A member of the Skwah First Nation, Froher lives and works on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, a location that is not incidental, but instrumental to her process. It’s here that she forages for leaves, bark, seeds, and roots, transforming them into pigments that will eventually stain silk with whispers of origin, spirit, and place. The result is a striking line of eco-dyed, wearable art: earthborn, slow-crafted, and sensorially alive.
