Collective directed by Denise Bonapace that designs and manufactures handcrafted knitwear items through a research path that applies traditional techniques in an experimental way.
Those who wear an ABITARIO garment do not passively face what is proposed to them, but want each dress to enhance them as a unique and special individual

ABITARIO's collection is focused on the recovery of used sweaters: through the use of embroidery, mending and application techniques, a collection of unique, poetic and dreamlike garments are obtained, each with its own past and personality

Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality and environmental value. 

Upcycling artists are inspired by the textile waste they see, which is almost an unlimited resource at this point. They create with the intention to use what is already here. This process is important in the circular fashion movement, because it makes use of discarded textiles, giving these materials second lives. 

Because discarded textiles are not typically sheets of fabric, but rather articles of discarded clothing, a lot of creativity is required to transform materials into new fashionable pieces. This challenge is exciting for upcycling artists, as they are driven and inspired to create with what is in front of them and often don’t have much to lose in the process, since discarded materials are readily available and cheap. Because of this, upcycled clothing is often unique as each piece has been thoughtfully crafted into a new garment.

This product is made by creatively upcycling materials that would otherwise go to waste. This makes better use of resources like deadstock fabrics: leftovers from big production that are saved by re-using them.

For every in-stock product purchased, you have a 14 days return period starting from the day you received the product. You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. All parcels must be returned at their partner brands’ locations. All customized orders are non-returnable
