Apply for a Key

The Heartwood is a small, considered circle — the innermost tier of COLĒRE's membership. It is not open to the public. Entry is by successful application only, reviewed personally by our founder.

Members join a design year with the founder, contribute to The Fund — which sets aside 12% of profits to teach care and craft — and become part of a community grounded in artisan equity, sustainable materials, slow fashion, and radical transparency.

Please take your time with these questions. We read every one ourselves.

1. Your name, and where in the world you are.

2. Your email and a contact number.

3. What first drew you to COLĒRE?

4. Which of our values speaks to you most, and why? Artisan Equity · Sustainable Materials · Slow Fashion · Radical Transparency

5. The Heartwood includes a design year with our founder — what would you love to create or explore together?

6. The Fund sets aside 12% of profits to teach care and craft. What would supporting that work mean to you?

7. What do you hope to bring to this small circle, and what do you hope to find in it?

8. Anything you make, grow, or care deeply about that you'd like us to know?

Thank you for knocking. We read every application ourselves, and we will reply within a few days.
