You’ll be able to name me ignorant, however it was solely yesterday I used to be conscious of the presence of Atelier Miquias (right here), and in their very own phrases right here is how they’re implementing sustainable insurance policies: 1- sustainable materials choices 2- sample optimization 3- round design ideas 4- lowering overproduction 5- shopper schooling 6- closed-loop programs 7- zero-waste practices.
Apparently, they appear to have teamed up with Warde, one of many main materials sellers in Lebanon – apparently the corporate has been round for 150 years and Gabriel Warde is the 4th technology to be on the helm of it – for deadstock materials.
So… What’s deadstock you ask? Once more, in their very own phrases, “deadstock cloth is surplus and accessible for reuse, providing a sustainable and environmentally pleasant various to producing new supplies.” And simply so that you can know, even giants like LVMH (Louis Vuitton, Dior, and so on….) have their very own deadstock firm Nona (right here).

ِAs somebody who solely owns one article from a quick trend home in all his closet (and never that the closet is that developed for somebody my age thoughts you!), I attempt to steer away from such objects. I additionally attempt to purchase second hand (howdy Depot-Vente Beirut!) or classic (Classic One thing) or nothing in any respect thoughts you. Except the merchandise is actually wanted, I are inclined to forego shopping for it.
However going again to Miqias – they supply: A-Z trend manufacturing providers, sketching and visualization, sample making and sampling, manufacturing consulting, sustainable materials sourcing, and deadstock administration.
By the way in which, a stunning factor concerning the Miqias and Warde partnership? The identify: Warradit! Warradit is clearly a by-product of the Warde identify (which implies flower) and warradit means “blossomed”. How cool is that?
