What is Circular Fashion ?
Circular fashion is an approach that relies on sustainable product design, reuse and recycling of garments to reduce textile waste and minimize the environmental impact of the fashion industry.
Sustainable design and production in circular fashion involves the use of materials and processes that minimize environmental impact and promote ethical practices throughout the supply chain.
Transforming Waste into Treasures: The Upcycling Wave in Circular Fashion.
In recent years, we have witnessed a revolution in the fashion world: the rise of waste reuse.
In a world saturated with messages and products, circular fashion emerges as a beacon of change, driving a revolution not only in how we dress, but also in how we view our impact on the planet.
The reuse of waste of all kinds has also reached the world of fashion: Discarded tires turned into backpacks, old truck tarps turned into shoulder bags, life rafts reused to become bags and laptop cases...
This practice, which transforms waste into treasures, has led to the creation of unique and original accessories that are not only high quality, but also make a bold statement for sustainability.

Encouragement of Creativity and Individuality in Fashion
Upcycling allows you to create unique and original garments, stimulating creativity and individual expression through fashion.
