Why This Dominican Swimwear Brand Keeps Its Workshop In The Bush, Two Degrees Cooler Than The City

Because the patch of land Freedom Ecowear preserves runs about two degrees cooler than the surrounding area, the workers breathe clean air instead of microplastic, and you can hear the birds and bees over the machines. Standing in that open air atelier with Vivi Rufino and David, the couple who built the place together, Vivi explains why they refused to move it to the city.
