Crafting for the Planet - Our Purpose Beyond Fashion:
At the heart of Bricolage lies a deep commitment to nature-first principle and regenerative production. We believe that fashion should not only exist in harmony with the planet but also actively contribute to its renewal. For us, textiles are more than just materials—they are stories woven into the fabric of our shared history, carrying the wisdom of those who have long understood how to live in balance with the Earth.
Bricolage: Innovating with Nature’s Blueprint
Our approach is rooted in the philosophy of bricolage, inspired by Claude Lévi-Strauss’s concept of "untamed thought" in The Savage Mind. Just as traditional cultures and resourceful communities have always adapted and innovated with what is available, we embrace the art of reimagining and repurposing. Our work extends beyond textiles; it is a search for ways to create, consume, and co-exist in harmony with nature—honoring knowledge that fosters regeneration rather than depletion.
A Business Model Rooted in Nature’s Balance
-
We channel half of our resources into circular design, material innovation, and the REMADE process—transforming surplus textiles into high-value, reusable materials. By keeping fabrics in circulation, we actively reduce waste and regenerate resources, rather than merely minimizing harm.
-
Collaboration is key to transformation. We invest in partnerships that drive systemic change, support knowledge-sharing, and empower local communities, ensuring a fashion ecosystem built on shared responsibility.
-
Sustainability starts from within. We prioritize fair wages, a healthy and inspiring work environment, and continuous learning—because a thriving team is essential for meaningful impact.
-
We reinvest in research, technology, and scaling circular solutions to amplify our impact. Growth, for us, is about creating lasting change—expanding the reach of regenerative fashion while staying true to our values.
Our commitment to a nature-centered approach is reflected in our business model:
