The basics of upcycling

What makes upcycling essential today is that it forces us to look at our surroundings differently. Instead of consuming more and more, we ask ourselves: "What if this still had something to offer?" And sometimes, the answer is surprising.

In the textile industry, upcycling plays a key role. It allows for the reuse of scraps, end-of-roll materials, or worn-out garments to create new pieces without drawing on new resources.

There are several ways to approach upcycling in textiles, and each has its own charm, almost as if each technique offered a new avenue for reinventing what already exists.
