About the R-Type Collection 

Recovery ... Recuperation ... Rediscover

The R-Type collection has been created as a way for me (Ruth) to recover, recuperate and rediscover fashion after years of being in constant pain. I have recently been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which is a connective tissue disorder. I am now on the path to better pain management and this collection is part of that journey  

You will notice most of the photos are of the same model ... that's me! I wanted to show that even when you are not feeling 100% you can still look good.  Also, I practice what I preach because I wear all the pieces extensively before they are released.

Check out the whole collection at: straker.design/collections/r-type

All these garments are easy to wear, wash and go and have been designed with the idea that even on your worst day you can still be stylish.
