Meet all our editors. Buy the stuff they make.

Fairs and Sales

Here is our running list of holiday sales (We know we already missed some!). To let me know about what is going on in your area email hello AT supernaturale DOT com and I will post it up.

Smockshop
Smockshop was created by artist Andrea Zittel. A smock is a simple double wraparound garment designed by Andrea Zittel. Each garment is one of a kind, and is sewn by an artist who reinterprets the original design based on their individual skill sets, tastes and interests. The smockshop generates income for artists who’s work is either non-commercial, or not yet self sustaining.
