Field note — 04.26Brand building in Harare
On starting a luxury house from a city the industry refused to see. The patternmaker, the fabric, the door — we built each of them, in that order.

02 / 03 — THE HOUSE
Everything here
is built from mud.
Corropt & Chroma is a Zimbabwean fashion house from Harare. Nothing we make arrives pristine. Every piece comes out of an unglamorous, deliberately slow process — cut, dyed, broken in, and only then sent out.
Heavyweight cottons, garment-dyed in earth-grade tones, punctured by one violent hit of signal orange. Weight is a position. The wear is the point.
“Built from mud.”
