Mine Like a Woman is a cultural and lifestyle brand that celebrates the people and heritage behind modern mining. Through design and storytelling, we reclaim the symbols of work, pride, and belonging that define this industry.
Every collection connects technical excellence with human experience, turning apparel into a language of identity and respect for those who build, lead, and innovate across mining’s value chain.

All About that Base
Peggy Bell from Mine Like a Woman created Tailings United in collaboration with Karen Chovan, CEO of Enviro Integration Strategies, for global tailings professionals who believe design can represent precision, collaboration, and progress.
Each piece celebrates the teamwork that drives innovation and safety, connecting disciplines, data, and people across every stage of tailings management.
From mine to legacy, this collection honours the engineers, geoscientists, operators, and advocates who keep stewardship and trust at the foundation of mining’s future.
Team Spirit
In mining, as in sport, success depends on how well the team works together.
Tailings United reflects that same discipline, pride, and purpose, built on the belief that when every role is played with integrity, the whole operation strengthens.
Tailings professionals know what it means to be part of something larger than themselves. Progress happens through coordination, communication, and shared accountability. Together, we build responsible, resilient systems that earn trust and assure everyone's safety.
Each piece in this release is made with Tapstitch blanks, high-quality, intentionally designed garments for independent designers to customize. These blanks stand apart for their construction and character, offering a foundation as strong and distinctive as the teams they represent.
This collection carries a quiet signal of what is ahead. It marks the next chapter in the story of belonging, the moment when those who may have felt out of place find their team in a version of mining that welcomes everyone.
