origin of material
Studio AMA stands for circular fashion. That also means using textile leftovers that would otherwise go to waste.

This is the first time that Studio AMA is starting from pre-existing garments. This is a collaboration with
Ecoso. Ecoso has a thrift shop, there are leftovers there too. Pieces that are not (or cannot be) sold. This source of textile waste is immense. That is why it is necessary to start working on it.

ECOSO stands for "ecological and social entrepreneurship". A perfect match for Studio AMA. Their aim is to create employment and strengthen the skills of people distanced from the regular labour market in an ecological context.
Studio AMA was linked to The recycling shop, Ecoso thanks to TOP-atelier, a team that researches production and business models within circular textiles.
