WHAT WE DO
All the materials used are reclaimed, coming from old garments that are dismantled or from warehouse surplus.
This seemingly simple principle entails incredible complexity in both design and execution—going far beyond simple upcycling.
At the heart of the project is the use of vintage Japanese silk kimonos, which, after a meticulous process of selection and sorting,
are unstitched to become raw material once again. Each kimono is made using exactly
11 meters of fabric, 38 cm in height, always and only in a rectangular shape—this allows for complete reuse of the material.
Ibrigu also recovers vintage silk scarves and old furs, blending them with precious unused fabrics. The production process
strikes a perfect balance between craftsmanship and industrialization, where the use of reclaimed materials
makes every piece unique and impossible to reproduce.
