The Book of Kin, our annual curated guide book, is conceived to create awareness of how our “being in relationship” with the material world reflects on our relationships with each other to build strong and caring bonds between fashion lovers and the origins of their garments – to celebrate the beauty and ingenuity of nature and the skilfulness of farmers, processors, designers and makers.

The Book of Kin recommends brands, designers and makers in the following categories: Clothing, Accessories, Jewellery, Homeware, Beauty, DIY+Materials, Workshops+Retreats. The printed guide book has an online counterpart on The Lissome website, and a The Book of Kin-themed newsletter on Substack called Slow Style Chronicle.
