The Unique Upcycled Collection.
See hippies cared about the planet they introduced the concept of Reduce, Reuse & Recycle and today this very concept is recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency. They were the first sub-culture to have an ecological fashion consciousness and made the recycling of vintage clothes as well as their upcycling
of old fabrics and curtains totally rad. Hippies knew that it is important to make things last and that’s why we dig this sub-culture.

For our unique collection we use post consumer waste, we collect old K.O.I and KIBO jeans. The designs are
one-of-a-kind. Every piece is gonna be unique and different based on the denim we get. This creates an emotional value to the customer, and adds a long-lasting statement piece to their closet.

THE KIBO COMMUNITY:
We have created an online platform for (skilled unemployed) people who have a passion for sewing. Our unique upcycled pieces are designed by our creative director who works in the Amsterdam store three days a week. Designing the garments is an ongoing process throughout the whole year. Customers can order the unique pieces on demand. When ordered we will post the order on the KIBO platform. The KIBO community can offer their services. We will communicate the pattern and give the collected old denim to the seamstress, so they can make it at one of our creative spaces in denim city. They will get paid per hour depending on the difficulty of the garment. When the garment is finished the creative director will check the quality and do the final touches like inside scraping.
