What to know about SC103
Bags come first, clothes follow
The label's core is hand-worked leather — braided, laced and knotted bags, harness-style straps and sculptural accessories — with knitwear and draped separates built around it.
Small runs, self-organised shows
Collections are made in limited quantities and presented in galleries and community spaces, with models, photographers and guests drawn from the designers' own circle.
Two Pratt graduates, industry-trained
Sophie Andes-Gascon and Claire McKinney met at Pratt and worked at Ulla Johnson and MNZ before going full-time; McKinney still teaches at Pratt part-time.
