We chatted with the founders of the site &#8211; Kasia Galak and Maria Grzywacz &#8211; about veganism, sustainability and why it\u2019s important to look into production and consumption while shopping for our home and wardrobe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>An interview with the founders of Womb <\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Hi, Maria and Kasia. Thanks for taking the time to chat with us. Tell us a little bit about how Womb got started?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maria: Kasia and I started Womb in July 2017 after we met in Beijing, more than two years ago. While we like working with people in the creative industry, we also wanted to do something that corresponds to our personal values. Kasia is vegan and I\u2019m vegetarian, so caring about what we put in our mouths led us further into researching more about conscious consumption, how things are made and where they come from. Womb is a mix of what we are passionate about &#8211; creative process and creative practices &#8211; but with a sustainable angle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kasia: We also like to think about it as sort of like an educator and an active participant of the debate here in Hong Kong regarding sustainability, alternatives to production.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_155447\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-155447\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-155447 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-Kasia-Galak-and-Maria-Grzywac.jpg\" alt=\"Womb Hong Kong Kasia Galak and Maria Grzywac\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-Kasia-Galak-and-Maria-Grzywac.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-Kasia-Galak-and-Maria-Grzywac.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-Kasia-Galak-and-Maria-Grzywac.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-155447\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maria and Kasia are two like-minded people who are keen to promote sustainable fashion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>I\u2019ve got to ask, why did you choose to name the site Womb?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">M: We wanted the name to have a female element because we are two female founders, and a womb also symbolises a very safe place. We bring new designers to a place where we can nurture them and let them grow, as well as to facilitate exchange between designers. So what we do essentially is like a womb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">K: It\u2019s also a little bit controversial. When we introduce the company and say that it\u2019s called Womb, people would associate it very biologically with the uterus. But after actually thinking about it for a second, everyone really likes it. It\u2019s memorable and provocative. We want to see what it can mean metaphorically for people who are involved in the project. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>You focus on three main things, namely ethics, sustainability and veganism. Why is that?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">M: We believe that in order to be sustainable, you cannot exploit another living being to possess your material. So for us, if something isn\u2019t vegan, it\u2019s not sustainable. We\u2019re trying to explain to people that killing animals in order to have your bags or wallets is just not working in the longer run. Not when we have technology that allows us to different innovative \u00a0techniques and other materials. And I think we should be pursuing that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">K: Also, people might say we have been using leather since we were living in caves and we should keep doing that. You could maybe justify using leather in Scandinavia, but no one really needs leather jackets or shoes in Hong Kong. We\u2019re in a climate that just doesn\u2019t really call for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_155451\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-155451\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-155451 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-products-feature.jpg\" alt=\"Womb Hong Kong products feature\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-products-feature.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-products-feature.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-products-feature.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-155451\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Womb wants to redefine luxury, so the products aren\u2019t only associated with big name brands, but rather defined by the quality<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>What kinds of brands does Womb feature on the site?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">K: Now we have around twenty designers. Most of our designers are from Poland or they\u2019re of Polish origins but maybe they don\u2019t work there. They work in the UK or Germany. And I think right now we have five designers from Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">M: In terms of fashion designers, Pat Guzik\u2019s collections are very inspired by Hong Kong and kind of edgy for the European standard. For ceramic brands, there is Zaczyn which works with one of the oldest porcelain factories in Poland. They use old porcelain that were crushed to create new items, so it implements recycling in porcelain production. Another upcycler is Jolene Jolene which uses old plastic bags to produce cardholders and other small lifestyle items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">K: Also, the clothing brand Cosmos Studio came up with this dyeing technique where they don\u2019t dye the whole garment but instead just imprint the colour onto the threads. This process is patented by one of the stakeholders and it\u2019s called GiDalve. Using that, they\u2019re able to use just 5 per cent of water that will normally be used in the production of a single shirt.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_155450\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-155450\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-155450 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-Red-coin-purse-by-Wyrob-.jpg\" alt=\"Womb Hong Kong Red coin purse by Wyrob \" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-Red-coin-purse-by-Wyrob-.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-Red-coin-purse-by-Wyrob-.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-Red-coin-purse-by-Wyrob-.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-155450\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Red coin purse by Wyrob<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Who are some of your favourite designers?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">M: I really appreciate what Magdalena Tekieli is doing, she is the designer behind sketchbooks, notebooks, planners that are made of 100 per cent recycled paper. I know stationary is still an item, it would be more eco-friendly to have everything digitalised. But what she does is extremely important. This paper would have landed in a landfill or the ocean, but she\u2019s sourcing old papers in order to produce new item. I think that\u2019s a really good statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">K: I can\u2019t come up with just one name! It\u2019s like choosing among siblings or kids. All of them have done their absolute best. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_155449\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-155449\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-155449 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-products.jpg\" alt=\"Womb Hong Kong products\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-products.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-products.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/Womb-Hong-Kong-products.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-155449\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Miodownik Honey spoon by Zaczyn and Uau Project Groww 3D-printed greenhouse by Uau Project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>How do you choose the brands and know that they\u2019re great at what they\u2019re doing?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">K: Meeting the designers personally, going to their studios and really seeing first-hand what the practice looks like! Studio is also a production site, it\u2019s relatively easy to track the process. Because it\u2019s either these guys doing it, or they work with factories that we also can visit. They\u2019ll show us one way or another how the production is being overseen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">M: What we\u2019re trying to do is to reverse the consumption model and the consumption mind that is in Hong Kong, which is very often buying more and buying more expensive products. But sometimes you have to analyse the item you\u2019re buying. Just because it has a price tag or a name tag, it doesn\u2019t necessarily justify the ethics or the quality of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wombhk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Womb<\/a> online<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re a conscious consumer that shops at vintage stores, buys vegan fashion lusts after products from The Slow Mode and Ril Creed, then you\u2019ve probably already heard of Womb &#8211; a rising online retail platform in Hong Kong that features different independent brands selling ethical products, including homeware and fashion accessories.
