Collection: Anekdot
Because our style shouldn't cost the earth.
It is easy to see why we love working with Anekdot, their lingerie is simply beautiful, but the beauty of this company goes beyond the looks of their products.
Anekdot is an upcycle brand
Transforming waste into luxury, upcycling means that we reclaim our superb materials from fashion industry deadstock, end of lines and off-cuts, turning them into something beautiful and meaningful for your everyday life. We are in perpetual search for new opportunities to source our materials. This could be a closing down factory, maker’s surplus, production errors or miscalculations. The materials we use have never been previously worn, but we thought we’d give them a new chance to be enjoyed. Besides that we love to breathe a new life into forgotten textiles which are otherwise destined to landfill, we also save emissions in comparison to producing new materials. And as a cherry on top of the cake our upcycled products are always limited editions, making you feel extra special.
From season to season
In addition to upcycling exceptional surplus fabrics left behind by the fashion industry we constantly watch out for new sustainable material innovations, to be able to provide you with some Anekdot favourites from season to season. We currently use certified recycled nylons made in Italy, having the highest percentage of recycled fibres and fine quality that we could find on the market. Saving resources, water and carbon emissions, while making sure that your loved clothes last.
Local manufacturing
Each piece is dreamed up with purpose and produced with love. Anekdot is committed to collaboration with skilled craftsmen, artisanal techniques, and transparent supply chains. Our production takes place in Berlin or nearby Poland, allowing us to oversee the whole production process, dramatically reduce our carbon footprint, ensure living wages and support local talent. We challenge the industry standard of mass production and value the hands behind our products.
At the moment we are only two in our core team in Berlin. Both of us being passionate in everything ranging from sustainability to production and customer care, we love working on every task that needs to be done and while being only the two of us making decisions and proceeding with projects, we are very caring and flexible and there is a minimum risk that tasks and conversations gets lost between people. The tasks that we can not manage to work on between the two of us, we outsource to different professionals along the way, such as additional production, photography, marketing or technical improvements. But each project is overlooked by us and goes under our Code of ethics and conduct.
If your product's care label is stating "made in Berlin", it means that one of us have been sewing it.
