With light step and untroubled gaze, The Fool stands at the brink, absorbed in the blue distance rather than the drop below. Waite describes him as “the spirit in search of experience,” a traveler between worlds, rose in hand and wallet slung over his shoulder. The precipice carries no terror; there is innocence here, but not ignorance. It is the first outward movement of the soul.
This edition preserves the original Pamela-Waite Smith composition in a modern woodcut rendering, sharpening contrast and texture while honoring the historic linework. Printed with eco-friendly inks on a recycled cotton and recycled polyester blend; lightweight, soft, and structured for everyday wear.
Artificial Perdition was never built to chase fast fashion. From day one, we’ve put ECO-First, even when it means tougher choices and tighter margins. Why? Because the climate costs a helluva lot more than any shirt, hoodie, or mug ever will.
Most offerings you see here carry that weight. We try to partner only with providers who share the same ECO-First mentality:
-
Fibers: Our clothing starts with better materials like organic cotton, heritage cotton, and post-consumer recycled materials.
-
Environment-Safe Dyes: Low-impact, non-toxic inks and dyes keep waterways clean and communities safe.
-
Water Recycling + Energy Efficiency: Manufacturing partners recycle water, reduce emissions, and prioritize renewable energy.
-
Fair Labor Practices: Every piece is ethically produced from certified factories that ensure safe working conditions and fair pay.
-
Print on Demand: Nothing is over-produced or sent to landfill. Your gear is made to order—less waste, fresher product, cleaner conscience.
Yes, eco-first comes with a higher price tag for you and smaller margins for us. But the alternative? A disposable industry that treats the planet as expendable. We’re not interested in that future.
Artificial Perdition stands for artistry, individuality, and sustainability stitched into every thread. Wear it knowing you’re not just buying into a look; you’re investing in something that fights against conformity, both in style and in how we treat the Earth.
