Underwear is often made from coveted textiles in soft and beautiful materials, but it's like the market forgets this when they're used to create lingerie. Deadstock of lingerie has no secondary value. Through our collaboration with Lisa Jacobsson, we hope to challenge this perspective and inspire others in the industry to push the boundaries of what lingerie can be and how they can be upcycled - even into something as unexpected as a handbag.
