Rejected materials
Up-cycling at Tiger and Twig represents a close stitch between form, function and sustenance, where once thought waste fabrics can now experience a new purpose.
Our Process
Step 1
Tiger and twig work with collected dead stocks and factory rejects which normally otherwise are destined to end up in the landfills.
Step 2
The design team embraces the articles that didn't make the cut and reworks on the pieces individually depending upon the fabrics calibre.
Step 3
The execution of every piece is done by our talented team of local artisans who are paid according to the intensity and detail of the design.
Step 4
Finally the reincarnated garment is up for sale.
Step 5
Upon purchase, each piece is disinfected, enveloped in recycled packaging and shipped out with a lot of thought and love.
Why Upcycle
Despite by the industries [after annually] 150 billion items of clothing produced annually, closed-loop technology is far from 100% effectuality. So while we wait for the technology to save us, why not upscale upcycling instead? It’s the best bet we’ve got to still make wonderful clothes whilst slowing down the industry.
