Upcycled clothing and textiles with a story

At ‘t Uniek in Brakel, you will find unique collections of upcycled clothing and textiles. The sewing shop collaborates with Kringwinkel Zuid-Oost-Vlaanderen, for a constant supply of materials that deserve a second life. The passionate team of designers and tailors transform everything into stylish garments, decorative gadgets and practical accessories. All with an eye for circularity and social inclusion.

Reduce, reuse, recycle, refuse, rethink, repair and relove: quite a mouthful, but the credo of sewing workshop ‘t Uniek, where the upcycle team gives clothing and textiles a second life. For the materials, they can rely on a collaboration with Kringwinkel Zuid-Oost-Vlaanderen, which ensures a constant supply from the central textile centre.

Once a feasible idea is approved, a prototype is developed and approved. Is it to your liking? Then production in larger numbers follows. The team that takes care of this consists of employees with a distance to the labour market, who get the chance to develop their talents to the full at ‘t Uniek.

You can also come to ‘t Uniek for services such as the rental of pallet seats, custom-made curtains, retouching and personalised items for companies. You will find the creations in the ‘t Uniek pop-up store in Brakel, Kringwinkel Ninove, Kringwinkel Geraardsbergen and on the website. This way, you not only contribute to a more sustainable world, but also support social inclusion.
