About Brass Tacks: One of the primary goals at Brass Tacks is to use traditional textile crafts and to transform these fabrics into garments that are contemporary and urban. By re-articulating these fabrics as modern, cosmopolitan pieces, and reaching out to a wider customer base, Brass Tacks provides a greater demand for weavers, dyers and printers who produce quality work.
