Introducing UpcycleLino:

UpcycleLino is our trademark that encompasses our innovative range of yarns and fabrics, meticulously crafted from the fabric waste generated during our production process. Traditionally, a staggering 30% of fabric production goes to waste (often reaching 40% to 50%). However, with our upcycled yarns and fabrics, we can minimized waste to an astonishing 0%.

Dedicated to promoting sustainable circular fashion and committed to reducing our carbon footprint, we have ingeniously transformed our linen fabric waste into our original upcycled yarn. Our exclusive UpcycleLino yarn is skillfully woven from our discarded pure linen fabric scraps, combined with organic virgin cotton fiber. This unique blend results in a one-of-a-kind upcycled linen-cotton yarn.

Moreover, we employ this innovative upcycled yarn to create new fabrics, which serve as the foundation for our UpcycleLino clothing. Even after the upcycled garments have been produced, we remain steadfast in our mission to minimize waste. Consequently, any additional fabric waste generated is repurposed to create upcycled hangers. This holistic approach ensures that our sustainable circular fashion ethos is actualized, striving towards our goal of achieving "Full upcycle production = ZERO Waste."

In recognition of our unwavering commitment to sustainable circular fashion, we are honored to have been bestowed with the esteemed GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2021. This accolade not only acknowledges our industry-leading initiatives but also reaffirms our dedication to creating a more sustainable future.
