Our commitment to sustainability

At SoulStitch Artwear, we believe in mindful fashion for soulful living. Learn about our commitment to reducing waste and contributing to a more ecologically sound lifestyle.

Rescued and repurposed

The emphasis for SoulStitch Artwear is on the upcycled nature of the materials used, with sustainability at its core. Reused, repurposed and restyled from unwanted and unloved items which would otherwise be sent to landfill along with the other 350,000 tonnes of clothing waste each year from the UK alone and around 92 million tonnes globally. This wastes valuable resources and adds to environmental impact, water pollution, carbon emissions and greenhouse gas emissions.

We source our materials from charity shops, second-hand stores, and online marketplaces. Items are washed with eco-friendly laundry strips and conditioner on eco settings. Energy used to launder, light and sew the clothing is powered by  renewable energy. These clothes are then repaired, restored and recreated.  Once purchased they will be sent to you in compostable packaging. By rescuing, caring for and repurposing unwanted items that would otherwise end up in landfill, we give them a new lease of life and they are reborn as unique pieces of artwear, appealing to the environmentally conscious buyer. At SoulStitch Artwear, we rekindle fabric and spirit.

Handmade with care

The production process is carried out entirely by hand, and sewing machine,  allowing us to carefully craft each item with attention to detail, creative reinterpretation  and minimal waste. Slow stitching is often done in the Japanese Boro style, the art of wabi-sabi or the appreciation of beauty that is imperfect. You can learn more about this by clicking the orange 'learn more about the process' button below. Each garment is a new canvas and each stitch is a step towards sustainability with these upcycled and uplifting pieces. Every item tells a new story, turning the ordinary into extraordinary  and there is kindness in every seam with optimism woven into every stitch.  

Mindful artwear for you

We believe that fashion can be both beautiful and sustainable. This is circular fashion made  with love and care, creating daily mindfulness through what you wear. Our commitment is to provide you with almost every part of the items rescued and lovingly cared for and transform them into individual and unique mindful artwear and jewellery with intentional creations.  The  wellbeing statements on each garments also encourage mindfulness and express good intentions.  In supporting this store you are contributing towards a more ecologically sound and thoughtful lifestyle. Good vibes recycled.
