Our Materials - A Commitment to Sustainable Fashion

Welcome to our world where fashion meets sustainability.   At Ariike Studio our mission is simple: to design exquisite clothing that treads lightly on the planet. In the era of fast fashion, where the environmental cost of textile production is staggering, we stand firm in our commitment to sustainability.

Against this backdrop of environmental degradation, we proudly choose to lead with repair, rework where it is demanded by our customers,  design with materials that are already in existence. Our creations breathe new life into used jeans, deadstock fabrics, and remnants from cutting floors, all sourced locally from the UK.

Our Materials

Preloved Jeans:

By repairing and reworking or integrating preused jeans into our designs, we celebrate the resilience and versatility of this beloved fabric. Each piece tells a story, extending its lifespan and reducing waste. Instead of discarding worn-out jeans, we transform them into timeless fashion statements, keeping them in circulation for many more years.

Deadstock Fabrics:

Deadstock fabrics are the hidden gems of the textile world. These surplus and end-of-roll fabrics, sourced from UK textile dealers and manufacturers, are waiting to be reimagined. By using deadstock, we ensure that our designs do not demand new resources, thereby avoiding further environmental degradation. Every piece crafted from deadstock is unique, making our collections as distinctive as they are sustainable.

Remnants:

Our commitment to sustainability is evident in our use of fabric remnants. These offcuts and leftovers, which would otherwise end up in landfills, find new purpose in our hands. By incorporating remnants into our designs, we maximize the utility of every meter of fabric, proving that beauty and elegance can emerge from the most unexpected places.

Eco-friendly materials:

We also source fabrics and other materials that have been tested for harmful substances and which have been manufactured under sustainable and socially responsible conditions.

Our Vision

At Ariike Studio, we are driven by a vision of fashion that honors our planet.

Our locally sourced materials embody our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint while creating pieces that are not only stylish but also sustainable.
