About

It begins with the person who wears it.

How a piece comes to you today, and what every order is building toward.

  1. Made to order

    A piece is made up only once it is ordered, then sent on its way. We keep no stock.

  2. Nothing made to sit unsold

    So there is no unsold stock to clear or throw away at the end of a season.

  3. No polyester in any main material

    We work in cotton and modal, and every product page gives the full composition.

  4. Each order funds the next step

    What comes in today pays for what we are building: the right makers, and cloth tested for harmful substances.

  5. We will design every piece ourselves

    The cut as well as the print, from our own first mock-ups.

  6. We will work beside our makers

    In person, where the clothes are made.

  7. We will inspect every piece ourselves

    So the price buys the best quality we can find for it.

  8. We will design our own packaging

    Made with the same care as the clothes inside it.

  9. And back to you

    The circle closes where it began: with you.

The name

Apolyth is a word we made. Three words share its seven letters, the way three rays share one sun.

  1. Apol

    For Apollo. The sun does not choose where its light falls.

  2. Poly

    Many. Everything you already carry, and everything it connects you to.

  3. Lyth

    Becoming. When that understanding turns into action.

    Where there is matter, there is geometry.

    Johannes Kepler, De fundamentis astrologiae certioribus, thesis XX, our translation

    …the pyramid is the solid which is the original element and seed of fire…

    Plato, Timaeus 56b, tr. Benjamin Jowett

    To earth, then, let us assign the cubical form; for earth is the most immoveable of the four…

    Plato, Timaeus 55d–e, tr. Benjamin Jowett

    Just as our soul, being air, holds us together, so do breath and air encompass the whole world.

    Anaximenes, as reported by Aëtius, tr. John Burnet

    You cannot step twice into the same rivers; for fresh waters are ever flowing in upon you.

    Heraclitus, tr. John Burnet

    …each member shall remain what it is, distinctly apart; yet all is to form, as far as possible, a complete unity…

    Plotinus, Ennead V.8.9, tr. Stephen MacKenna

    That which is beneath is like that which is above: & that which is above, is like that which is beneath, to work the miracles of one thing.

    The Emerald Tablet of Hermes, from The Mirror of Alchimy, 1597, spelling modernised

    The heart … is the beginning of life; the sun of the microcosm, even as the sun in his turn might well be designated the heart of the world…

    William Harvey, De motu cordis (1628), chapter VIII, tr. Robert Willis
  4. Three rays

    The sun's three rays stand for mind, body and spirit, and they point down, toward whoever wears it. Most of what a body is made of was formed in a star, which is why the sun sits over the heart.
