The very beginning

The idea of making sneakers from textile waste, all started when our founder, Lili, wrote about it in her thesis project.

The next step was to make the production scalable.

This funky pair of sneakers is the manifestation of the idea that old textiles can be turned into new sneakers and was one of the first prototypes that Lili made herself!
