FAQ
ABOUT OUR BAGS
What materials do you use?
Our bags are made from 100% silk vintage Japanese obi belts, making them truly unique upcycle products.
Are your bags handmade?
Yes. Each handmade bag is carefully created in or studio in Tbilisi. Each belt of material can produce only one or two bags, making every piece an exclusive, one-of-a-kind product that cannot be exactly replicated.
Is this bag suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. The bag is practical and lightweight — perfect as an everyday statement accessory.
How do I care for silk bag?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to preserve the color and texture.To avoid any damage, we recommend taking your silk bag to a professional dry cleaner. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Store your silk bag in a dust bag or a soft cloth when not in use to prevent scratches or creases.
Handle with care — silk is delicate and may show marks from friction or rough surfaces.
ABOUT OUR CLOTHES
What materials do you use?
Our clothing is primarily made using the upcycling technique. We recycle men’s cotton shirts, vintage kimonos, jeans, and other items to give them new life. We also use recycled and vintage fabrics.
What are “vintage fabrics” ?
Vintage fabrics are previously produced textiles sourced from past seasons or older inventories. Designers use them for their distinctive weave, print, and “unrepeatable” feel—plus the reality that once a fabric is gone, it often can’t be recreated in the same way.
What is deadstock fabric (and how is it different from vintage)?
Deadstock fabric is unused fabric left over in the supply chain (e.g., surplus rolls, discontinued production runs, or overstock). Vintage fabric typically implies older stock with a longer history—often sourced through private archives, resellers, or small batches with a more time-stamped character.
What is upcycled fashion?
Upcycled fashion is the practice of transforming existing items or materials into new garments, aiming to increase value and extend the life of what already exists. It often involves re-cutting, reconstructing, or combining elements so the end result is meaningfully different from the original.
Deadstock vs upcycled fashion: what’s the difference?
Deadstock usually starts from unused fabric yardage, while upcycling often starts from existing garments or components (like belts, trims, panels, or pre-loved items). Both approaches reduce waste, but they differ in starting material and in how much reconstruction is involved.
Is deadstock or upcycling always sustainable?
Not automatically. Sustainability depends on durability, local production, responsible sourcing, minimal overproduction, and how long the garment is worn. Using existing materials can reduce demand for new production, but the best outcome comes when pieces are made to last and stay in rotation.
Why do you working with vintage or upcycled materials release limited editions?
Because sourcing is irregular and quantities are small. One roll of fabric, or a small set of materials, might only allow a handful of pieces. Limited editions also help avoid overproduction and keep each drop intentional.
