What is Upcycling?

Upcycling is the activity of renewing or redesigning a garment in order to give it a second life.

How do we Upcycle?

We Upcycle by altering, adjusting, and even redesigning or decorating a garment! We do this using retro buttons, trimmings, or even take garments apart to create a new one!

What is our main aim?

Our aim as an Upcycling business is to offer an ethical clothing product. We aim to use Upcycling in order to slow down fast fashion and reduce material waste by preventing the 'stagnant' cycle of second hand clothing.

Why Vintage and Retro?

• The combination is fun!
• Better quality
• Often very interesting
• Often have a unique story!
