Wintervacht

Wintervacht is the creation of a Dutch design duo who are creating elegant yet edgy outer wear and accessories from old blankets and curtains. The vintage textiles mostly originate from the 19th Century textile industry that boomed in the Netherlands, and are now being repurposed in an extremely innovative way. Each piece of material found can be used to hand make only one or two garments, meaning that every Wintervacht piece is completely unique, and carries with it it’s own story. Equally, this production method largely reduces the need for new materials, saving energy and valuable resources, and at the same time decreases the volume of waste ending up in land fill sites.
