Creating a whole new fashion label using discarded fabrics

The inspiration stems from Piece x Piece, whose line of patchwork clothings made from discarded sample fabric swatches is a direct response to the increasing textile waste. Paralleling the underlying motivations, we are calling to action the creation of a self-sustaining brand of clothing that supports itself by supporting the company.

We aim to begin our brand in the market of small garments, since realistically we want to thrive in a niche market first. In order to create comfortable and sustaining garments, we require our products to be comfortable and structurally sound.To that end, we have created a tangible outline of the work process (link below) of our company and we hope that you will see as much potentials in the idea as we do.

We believe this is not the entire solution to the tantamount textile-waste problem but we are confident that the realization of this idea will contribute to a movement of building a more sustainable economy in the business of textiles.
