It is a zero-waste garment. The pattern of this garment is a rectangle. So, it doesn’t produce any fabric off-cuts. Moreover, it is upcycled using usable pieces of discarded linen from fabric manufacturers.

Neutral Linen Patch Dress is made out of linen pieces discarded as Pre-consumer textile waste. Due to neutral colors, high quality linen and clean finish, this dress will last for a long time before being moved to trash as a Post-consumer waste. #kalathriguruge

We were able to do it, due to Mamma’s passion for complex stitching and her patience. It is a patchwork garment with flat seams, so light and comfortable. #patchwork #zerowaste #artisanalfashion #kalathriguruge #slowfashion #madeinsrilanka #upcycledfashion #textilewaste

Wearing over-sized garments is a style. #artisanalfashion #artisanmade #kalathriguruge #slowfashion #madeinsrilanka #discardedfabric #kalathrigurugedesignstudio #palazzopants #oversizedfashion

My mother is a retired dancing teacher. She has always loved to do hand embroidery. But back then, she didn’t have much time. Mother stitched these tiny crosses on these chambray tops. She was so happy that she got to do something she loves, after a while. #consciousdesigner
