who¶

This is for :

- fashion brands that find value in sustainability such as brands showing collections at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

- high end fabric stores that want to offer more than fabrics to their dear customers.

- small upcycling designers.

what¶

Creative studio specialized in material research with a focus on waste streams transformation through craftsmanship. It offers a broad range of small decorative and functional objects for clothing such as buttons or pins. Both bulk and custom-made orders can be placed. The words “Fragments” come from the multi faceted aspect of material origin and use. Each material holds a past, but when assembled together, their fragments of old stories start to create a new one. It’s a creative studio with a poetic and nostalgic approach.

when¶

Starting in June 2025 at the Sustainable Angle Textile Fair.

where¶

ocated in the heart of Europe, between countries celebrating local know-how (France, Ireland) and resilient and progressive businesses (Scandinavian research).

why¶

The reason for the existence of Fragments Studio is to use its creative approach towards local waste streams. Therefore reducing local downcycling dynamics thanks to increasing the value of waste.

Vision - a plastic free world and maximum reuse of post-production and post-consumer use with a local approach for design features such as colors. Mission - to offer a broad range of materials to open up market share to things other than plastic-based products and far away production. Beliefs - thanks to a scientific and design led approach, we can start extending the use of existing resources that are discarded and downcycled.

how¶

1- Capturing local waste and building long-lasting relationships to be able to do small batches of production with an industrial mindset (as opposed to unique waste for a unique object that can not be replicated) 2- Transforming waste into design objects 3- Techniques inventory and materials cookbook with private recipes 3- Selling high value objects to the luxury sector
