6 Amsterdam Webshops for Upcycled, Unique, and Locally Made Fashion

What you need to know

• Amsterdam has 6 standout webshops for upcycled, unique and locally made fashion and home textiles that we want to highlight: Achilles and the Tortoise, JULAHAS, Koda Amsterdam, Studio Wunderbar, See You Again and Yumeko.
• Studio Wunderbar hand-makes coats in the Netherlands from secondhand wool blankets, upholstery offcuts and vintage tablecloths. Once a material is used up, that exact coat can’t be remade.

• See You Again turns discarded denim into kids’ jeans (sizes 5 – 16) using a laser redesign technique, and makes the rest of its collection from 100% recycled yarns (according to parent company Jolo Fashion Group).

  All 6 webshops ship online – no need to visit Amsterdam in person.

What counts as ​“upcycled fashion”?

Upcycled fashion is clothing or textiles made by reworking existing materials, such as secondhand garments, fabric offcuts, or deadstock, into new products, rather than manufacturing from virgin raw materials. In this list, Achilles and the Tortoise, Studio Wunderbar and See You Again all use upcycling techniques, each in a different way (see comparison table below).

Are you looking to make more informed choices when it comes to your wardrobe or home essentials? These Amsterdam-based webshops offer a range of brands that are transparent about their materials and production processes and focus on high-quality, long-lasting goods. From fashion-forward clothing to home textiles, these online stores give mindful shoppers concrete alternatives to fast fashion. Here’s a closer look at six standout webshops making waves in and around Amsterdam.

Achilles and the Tortoise

For those who love streetwear with a twist, Achilles and the Tortoise combines art and apparel, blending new and upcycled textiles into unique, wearable pieces. Designs feature hand-painted prints and are made for longevity rather than seasonal trends. Shop here if you’re after something timeless, unisex and creative, with a story behind the craft.

JULAHAS Amsterdam

If you’re a fan of versatile, minimalist fashion, JULAHAS offers timeless designs perfect for any occasion. Known for its craftsmanship and multifunctional pieces, JULAHAS makes capes and scarves that transform your wardrobe without cluttering it. One item, several ways to wear it. Ideal for those who want to invest in fewer pieces that last beyond a single trend cycle.

Koda Amsterdam

For anyone in search of timeless, durable and unique bags and accessories, Koda Amsterdam is a must-visit. Known for its craftsmanship, Koda offers modern pieces made with care from leftover materials of Dutch fashion brands. Built for repeated wear over time, rather than a single season.

Studio Wunderbar

Costume designer Martina, the designer behind Studio Wunderbar, works with secondhand wool blankets, leftover upholstery fabric, vintage tablecloths and pieces people send her, turning them into one-of-a-kind coats and kimono-inspired designs. Once a blanket is used up, that exact coat won’t exist again. Everything is made by hand in the Netherlands, in small batches, with no factory involved. If you’re after something with a real story stitched into it, this is where to look.

Yumeko Amsterdam

For home textiles, Yumeko offers bedding and bath essentials that are made from natural materials. From sheets to duvets, Yumeko’s range is designed for shoppers who want more information about the origins of their home textiles.
