Sustainability
This is Alice - the machine that currently makes every fashion piece by Eva Dragoeva. Alice is a beauty and she is a pre-owned piece of machinery. She helps me make sustainable clothes - but what makes them sustainable?
​
-
Everything is made from existing materials such as men's shirts and trousers, deadstock textiles and fabric remnants which means no new fabric resources.
-
Original seams are kept where possible, which means less energy is used to create a redesigned garment.
-
Using the concept of one garment and many looks, alongside multifunctionality encourages keeping garments for longer.
-
New seams used provide longevity of structure - this includes French seams and re-enforced seams.
-
Eva Dragoeva does not use animal products.
-
Packaging is plastic-free.
