The partnership aims to reduce waste in the fashion industry whilst helping educate children in India.

By producing clothes after an order has been placed This is Unfolded removes 30% of the waste that exists in the current retail model. And, made from the off-cuts from creating the pieces in each order, every Unfolded Edit for Collection 01 will include a mask. Any material not used up in this process gets sold to recyclers to be made into things like rugs, so nothing goes to landfill.   > Reducing waste is at the core of our mission.
