The name says it all.

Couture houses around the world are realizing the need to become part of the solution. 

Fancy girls and stylish men care about sustainability and human working conditions around the world too. For those of us who don’t fancy wearing garments that have been previously worn, we seek out unused materials that have been discarded, such as gorgeous Forrstman woolens from the 1950-60’s that are pristine from being stored in Grandma’s sewing room. We find bolts of fabrics that weren’t used by a name brand design house. Uppity Upcycle makes one of a kind garments, made to order.

High end sustainable designs; zero waste cutting procedures, reclaimed materials, upcycled materials, natural fiber fabrics.

 

Clothes especially for you.

Working with “scrap” , meaning new materials left over after cutting the primary item , ordinarily thrown out in our industry, presents an interesting dichotomy when it comes to pricing. The materials represent less expense, however, working the pieces in a mosaic type manner to fit a human body(couture)-well, more labor intensive than cutting and fitting from flat fabric (new or upcycled). The end result is a work of not only visual but architectural art. And inherently, not always “perfect “, such as lining up the print, etc.
