Upcycling + Recycling

♻️ UPCYCLE & RENEW

Fewer pieces. Better pieces. Fashion with intention.

We create clothing with purpose — not abundance.
Our collections are produced in small, mindful batches, and whenever fabric is left behind, we give it a second chance. Creativity, responsibility, and craftsmanship guide every step.

Below is how we reimagine waste into beauty.

✨ How We Reuse, Restore & Reimagine

1. RECRAFT — Turning Surplus into Limited Treasures

Through our ReCraft Program, we take leftover fabrics and transform them into fresh, small-batch designs. Each piece becomes a unique expression of creativity and conscious production.

What makes ReCraft special?

  • We collaborate closely with local artisans who reinterpret unused materials.

  • Fabric remnants are naturally dyed using leaves, roots, spices, and mineral pigments.

  • Offcuts from tops and dresses are turned into tote bags, pouches, headbands, and smaller accessories.

  • Every ReCraft item receives a unique handwritten serial code and a fully traceable origin tag.

  • No two items are ever identical — each one carries its own story.

2. MATERIAL REJUVENATION — Recycling with Purpose

We work with environmentally responsible recycling partners to turn textile waste into new resources.
By recoloring, re-spinning, and repurposing production scraps, we keep materials alive far beyond their first use.

Impact so far:

  • 200+ kg of textile waste diverted from landfills.

  • Estimated 1.3 tons of CO₂ saved, the equivalent of planting 20+ trees.

  • Increased use of recycled yarn blends in select collections.

  • Zero-waste cutting techniques adopted for new garments.

This is just the beginning.

🌿 What You Can Do

We believe sustainability is a partnership. Small habits make a long-lasting impact.

1. Care With Love

Treat your garments gently, and they’ll stay with you for years.

  • Wash less; wear more.

  • Air dry to conserve energy and protect fabric fibers.

  • Choose mild detergents that are kind to your skin and the planet.

  • Repair, re-stitch, repurpose — every small fix extends the life of your clothes.

2. Timeless Over Trendy

We encourage choosing pieces that remain beautiful season after season.

  • Select garments with classic shapes and natural textures.

  • Invest in quality fabrics instead of fast-turnover designs.

  • Wear clothing that aligns with your story, not the trend cycle.

3. Vintage Aesthetics, Modern Craft

Our collections draw inspiration from the charm of bygone decades — the character of the 70s, the simplicity of the 90s, the authenticity of handcrafted garments.

  • Many silhouettes you see today echo timeless vintage favorites.

  • We celebrate the worn-in, the re-loved, and the imperfect.

  • Every piece is designed with a sense of nostalgia and long-lasting beauty.
