OUR DESIGN

Fabric Research

I travel to Africa to find fabrics that can be reused and made into some beautiful clothing. The Second hand markets have clothing that comes from Europe & America and fabric dead-stock like curtains.

Upcycle Tailoring

I bring the materials i found to my amazing tailor-collective in a small town near mount Kenya.

we work with

Local TAILORS

We work with local tailors to create unique pieces out of the discarded clothes and hence circular fashion made in Africa.
