Couple Leah Yard from Leah Yard Design in Chinatown and Kyle Kary from Unimpressed Screen Printing in Gastown, collaborated recently on a small-batch apparel line labelled SERIES. 15% of each item sold will be donated to the Downtown Eastside Women Centre (DEWC), a cause they chose as they are aware of the disproportionate risks women face in the DTES.

Leah and Kyle discuss the collection and the influence behind it with reporter John Zee.

They also talk about the challenges of starting and running an independent business during the pandemic, the lessons learned throughout the process and give advices for those looking to follow in their steps.
