Green Efforts
Fabric
Our stocks are created from upcycled or preloved clothing and upholstery, deadstock fabrics, and fabrics donated from our friends and family from past projects. We have some fabrics from the Lapjesmarkt in Utrecht, from the fabric shops at Chinatown, Liberty London, and we also have a collection of fabrics from friends and family we are upcycling.
Material
Our zippers close the loop in garment production. Sourced from the Japanese company YKK’s NATULON® product lines, our zippers are made from recycled materials including PET bottles through innovative material recycling technology.
Garment Manufacturing
The fabrics and materials are then lovingly put together in Singapore
by Acacia and occasionally a few friends of the brand.
Garment Preservation
It is now in your hands to care for your clothes so that they last as long as possible.
Follow the care instructions on the clothing labels affectionately. Wash your clothes less to reduce your carbon footprint and maintain your pieces in their best conditions. We have care instructions pinned on our instagram for easy reference.
Slow Down
Because each item is handmade in house, we work at our own schedule, and we uphold the different needs of our neurodivergent team mates. All our processes are also shown on our instagram highlights to help you understand how your clothes are made.
We choose slow and intentional creation.
In House Recycling
Paper and fabric byproducts are kept and reused or recycled in house by the Acqulior Team. Recycled paper is crafted into artisanal paper which we use as part of our packaging, or we gather it and put it away in the recycling bin
and scrap fabric is used as pin cushion stuffing.
If fabrics cutoffs are large enough, they are put to use in sample making, dye testing or pattern pieces in toiles.
Even our packaging is designed to be reusable, durable, and recyclable. If you visit our booth you get a fabric bag that we embroidered by machine to bring your purchase home.
