ENSŌ UPCYCLED SHIRT (SIDE CROP)

Buying pre-owned items improves the sustainability of a garment. Research shows extending the average life of clothes (2.2 years) by just three months of using an item actively would lead to a 5-10% reduction in each of the carbon, water and waste footprints

A portion of Ensō's selection undergoes some kind of upcycling process before becoming a "new" unique piece of clothing

Each of Ensō's products is curated and retouched (if needed) in their studio in Amsterdam

The brand hand-picks vintage pieces among thousands (yes, 1000+) garments: only a few will get the "wohoo!" feeling and come back home with the founders. Every item will then be carefully reviewed, cleaned, and repaired if needed

Since this item is preowned, the entire garment is made from waste that would otherwise be discarded, giving it a new life. Buying preowned helps to keep garments in the loop for longer creating a more circular fashion system
