cæterpillar is an upcycling-focused brand; vintage and ready-made pieces are re-imagined, re-purposed, and re-invigorated. Transformations are achieved through experiments in garment dyeing, garment reconstruction, and hand crafting techniques.
cæterpillar has partnered with brands and retail shops, utilizing new-old stock and defective stock to create upcycled collections. Providing an alternative to the traditional fashion retail path from runway to clearance.
The lore of a caterpillar is that it mindlessly consumes without the explicit knowledge of why it’s doing so, but one day it will reach the point of metamorphosis. Likening this to our current state of consumption, cæterpillar aims to create mindfulness around the way we consume.
cæterpillar challenges the culture of waste, of excess and of exploitation. Embracing the circular, the sustainable and the ethical.
cæterpillar is a journey of exploration and expression, of curiosity and creativity, of wonder and wisdom.
