THE CREATIVE COLLECTIVE!Creative Collective
Welcome to our artist collaborations. We source rare, pre-loved materials—from earthy abalone shells to vintage boots, bags, and heritage textiles—and partner with local West End artists to give them a second life. 100% of proceeds fund our pioneering, behavior-first dog rescue.
The Upcoming Showcase & Auction
All finished collaboration pieces will debut at our live West End art show and charity auction event.
The Abalone Collection: Multi-option lots split between our live auction and our online Charity Etsy Shop.
The One-Offs: Rare, single-edition statements (including our signature boots, bags, and Guna Mola textile) featured exclusively as live auction centerpieces.
