Forms of Discovery makes practical,
long-lasting garments.

Forms of Discovery

Clothing made for everyday explorers, pioneers, and artists — people who engage with the world, first hand.


You don't need a safari suit or a jeep ride through the unknown to be an explorer. You're an explorer when you step outside with an open mind. A pioneer when you find new paths in familiar places. An artist when you see beauty and create meaning.


Our aim is simple: to encourage more of that way of living. Wearing Forms is one small reminder that discovery is an everyday thing. Wherever you are, however you move, you are part of a collective of people looking, finding, and creating with intent, every day.

Forms is shaped by our experiences living between London, New York, and São Paulo. We combine New York's minimalist sensibility with the enduring practicality of British workwear to create a unique design language, brought to life through the richness and character of Brazilian fabrics.

Good products are
long-lasting, versatile,
and easy to understand.
Here's what that means to us.

LONG-LASTING

By design

We believe making fewer things that last longer is the responsible approach. When products last longer, retail becomes more sustainable.

From the materials and machines we use to every seam construction, our garments are crafted to retain their shape and colour, wearing naturally and beautifully over many years of use.

VERSATILE

Multi-seasonal,
modular
collections

This means, whichever climate you're in or going to, you'll have options to pick from, all year round.

Our pieces are designed to pair easily, with subtle details that make them feel distinct. They can move between everyday life, travel, work, and time off without compromising comfort.

EASY TO UNDERSTAND

In Form Cards

help you understand the work and materials behind the prices so you can make informed decisions about the clothing you invest in. We’re proud to share each detail with you, even the ones we’re still working to improve. An In Form Card is included with every garment.

OUR FIBRES

Natural &
plant-based

98% of all our textile fibres are natural or plant-based. Here's a breakdown of all the fibres we currently work with.

Last updated June 2026. Updated annually.

MADE IN BRAZIL

National
production

We work with family-run factories in some of Brazil's oldest textile and garment manufacturing regions.

All of our textiles are woven or knit in Brazil. While our linen yarn and TENCEL™ Modal fibre are imported from Europe and Asia, the final fabric is always woven in Brazil. This allows us to work with the highest-quality materials while keeping textile development and production close to home.

In total, 95% of our raw materials are sourced from Brazil. The remaining 5% includes the raw fibres mentioned above as well as select buttons from specialised producers in Portugal.
