From Scraps to Statement Pieces: Our Journey Towards Circular Fashion
jenni redstone
We're excited to share an exciting sustainable project that's been quietly developing in our studio, supported by Re-London. At its heart lies a simple yet powerful idea: every piece of fabric tells a story and deserves to be part of something beautiful.
For years, we've been mindful stewards of our carefully chosen reclaimed fabrics, finding homes for even the smallest pieces in our work. While our larger offcuts have always found new life as smaller accessories, and tiny pieces have been transformed into buttons and embellishments, we've been collecting and saving the in-between pieces – those precious scraps that were too special to discard but had yet to find their purpose.
Now, with support from Re-London, we're taking our commitment to sustainability to the next level. We've created dedicated time and space to transform these collected treasures into something entirely new. Through thoughtful stitching and creative patchwork, we're letting the natural shapes and patterns of our offcuts guide us in creating unique textile compositions. Each piece of patchwork tells the story of our previous collections while promising new possibilities for the future.
These new fabrics aren't just sustainable – they're one-of-a-kind canvases for limited edition pieces that celebrate the beauty of reuse. Every garment we create from this patchwork will be unique, carrying within it the history of multiple projects and showcasing how "waste" can become something wonderful.
This initiative marks an important step in our journey towards becoming a completely sustainable circular business. By finding creative ways to use every scrap of our precious reclaimed fabrics, we're closing the loop in our production cycle and demonstrating that sustainable fashion can be both beautiful and innovative.
Stay tuned as we reveal the unique pieces born from this project – each one a testament to the possibilities that emerge when we reimagine what fabric can be.
