Name: Ksenia Schnaider
Rating: 5

Born in 2011 with the aim of creating fashion pieces by reworking discarded materials. In their designs they portray European cultural quotes or innovative digital concepts

Ksenia Schnaider's deisgners spent days on experimenting, and finally created the perfect trend- “demi-denims” taking the fashion world by storm since 2016, and becoming a hit amongst A-list celebrities. They have focused on this one long-term trend and do not follow other short term trends

Ksenia Schnaider's pieces are durable and timeless, made from reworked quality materials

In one month Ksenia Schnaider reworks 500 pairs of jeans, that's up to 5 tons of jeans per year. In one season they rework up to 200 kilos of textile waste. In a year, they produce around 3000 reworked items. Each reworked item is individually assembled and therefore one of a kind

All of Ksenia Schnaider's pieces are individually crafted in Kyiv, Ukraine

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.

Items can be returned 14 days after the delivery.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging

Linen is a strong, lightweight fabric made from the flax plant. It is one of the most historical fibers, and has been used as a clothing textile since 8000BC. 

Linen is a sustainable fabric because of its low requirements of water, resources, and energy to create. There is also little to no pesticides used on linen farms. 

Linen is notorious for durability and versatility. Linen can withstand high temperatures—making the fabric generally perfect for raiding the jungle or lounging on a tropical island. It absorbs moisture without holding bacteria. In fact, it is actually stronger when wet than dry and becomes softer and more pliable the more it is washed. It just gets better and better the longer you have it in your closet! 

Linen is a bio-based material, making it biodegradable, fully composting after it has retired from use.

Recycled cotton is re-purposed, post-industrial or post-consumer cotton that would otherwise become waste. For example, imagine a factory that cuts patterns for clothing out of big sheets of fabric and has all the in-between pieces to discard. The scraps of such cut and sew facilities are post-industrial cotton “waste” that have the capacity to be recycled. Post consumer waste is material discarded after someone uses it. 

Recycled cotton’s production process saves resources and energy to create, because their raw material already exists! It gives discarded cotton a purpose, keeping material in the loop for longer, contributing to circular fashion.

Recycled cotton comes from the soft and fluffy part of the cotton plant. It is a lightweight material that is durable, making it a wardrobe staple, and can last in your closet for years to come.

Recycled cotton can be recycled again and again, creating a new recycled cotton clothing. It is also a bio-based material, making it biodegradable, so it can fully decompose when it has grown too old to be recycled again.
