ABOUT THE BRAND

Are you ready to reconnect with your clothes? If so, meet Agatha, also known as Agy, a textile artist who is passionate about building environmentally aware communities. Her goal is to get people to reconnect with their clothes through techniques such as repair, transforming them into creative wearables (aka upcycling). She delivers regular talks and workshops including ‘Restyle Your Wardrobe’, where she shares her knowledge of rethinking the way we view our garments.

WHY THEY’RE CONSCIOUS

As an expert in sustainable fashion, Agy works with recycled fabrics and upcycles them to make clothes rather than throwing them away. She delivers regular talks and workshops to help others do the same, including her signature ‘Restyle Your Wardrobe.’

WHAT’S THEIR FIGHT
