Upcycled streetwear · Rotterdam

Rishi Ramdin

I take apart old denim, work jackets and sports tops in a Rotterdam warehouse and sew them into patchwork streetwear. I film every rebuild.

Shop

Patterns to take a jacket apart at home, and a hoodie and tote with my drawing. The merch is printed to order and shipped to you.

Rebuilds

Every jacket, filmed from the first chalk line. Most run four to seven minutes.

Workshops

A day in the warehouse studio: take a jacket apart and sew it back. A few places each time; write to me to ask for one.

Who's who

I share a warehouse studio in Rotterdam with a few other makers. Old denim, work jackets and sports tops come in by the bag, and I cut them apart, sort the pieces and sew something louder.

I film every rebuild from the first cut. The patterns I use are for sale as PDFs, so you can take apart your own jacket at home.

Every other Friday

Offcuts

One email every other Friday: the latest rebuild, a pattern tip and what is on the rail.

One email every other Friday. Leave whenever you like.

Send me a jacket

Tell me what you have, what you'd like it to become and when you need it. I reply within three days. The studio is open Wednesday to Saturday.
