Where to start? With the fabric, of course! During all those years in the fashion industry, she made a few contacts in the textile industry but unfortunately, none of them in Canada could provide her with the appropriate fabrics. She decided then to develop her own material collaborating with a textile manufacturing factory. She knew exactly what she wanted; a fabric made of a plastic wire mainly produced with recycled bottles. At that moment she had a precise idea of the perfect fabric she wanted to create and it took up to 8 months to make it happen. She never gave up and together, they created the perfect fabric she dreamed about for so long.
Since January 2017, Cynthia puts every ounce and fiber of her being into her project. Through ORAKI, she wants more than anything else to educate people about the pollution caused by one-time use plastic. She desires to create a high-quality product as good as the one from the big brands … but ecofriendly from A to Z!
