circular design made in helsinki

All our designs are made of locally sourced fabric waste, such as salvaged and donated textiles, and recycled textiles from local second hands. Aiming to be as circular and zero waste of a brand as possible, we are continuously developing new ways to utilise fabric waste. All our garments are hand made in Helsinki.

manifesto

DOING THE LEAST

We believe that creativity should not be destructive. In its current form the fashion industry is destroying the planet.


As artists and crafters we recognise our responsibility to counteract. We go against the overconsumption of natural resources while creating, and doing it all sustainably and ethically. We believe that our actions count, and that together we can change the culture.


That is why we create slowly and intentionally. We try to create only what is needed, and to create only from materials that are already in the circulation.


Our mission is to keep as many garments in the circulation throughout their full life-span as possible. Our designs are circular, which means we are carefully considering both the past and future of our garments. 


Maximising the life span of existing textiles while having a blast is the least we can do.


 ♡´・ᴗ・`♡ 

DOING THE MOST

We specialise in utilising recycled and fabric waste materials, and have worked with a wide range of materials. This has led us to master a variety of techniques, such as:


crochet

appliqué and patches

screen printing

hand drawing

painting 

custom painting shoes and handbags

(tie) dye

bleach dye

creative repairs 

alterations (repairs, tailoring, upcycling) 

reworking denim 

repurposing vintage textiles (also other than clothing items) 


By harnessing different methods and embracing the limitations inherent in our waste materials, we are not just making clothes, but art. Our passion and experiments result in new trailblazing ways to utilise fabric waste that bring together creativity and need. 


Giving a new fulfilling life to fabric waste by repurposing, altering, and upcycling it is doing the most we can.
