NUTT Amsterdam

Est­her has a degree in cos­tu­me design from the Ams­ter­dam Fashi­on Ins­ti­tu­te (AMFI) and it was whi­le wat­c­hing a docu­men­tary on the issue of texti­le was­te that she deci­ded to cre­ate NUTT. NUTT means ​“use­ful” in Dut­ch. She col­lec­ts fabrics and unworn clot­hes from tho­se aro­und her that would have wound up in the trash and makes the bla­zers her­self in her wor­k­shop. No risk of poor wor­king con­di­ti­ons as she does everyt­hing her­self. In addi­ti­on, the manu­fac­tu­ring is local. As a dre­s­sma­ker, she wants to make a dif­fe­ren­ce and hopes that the people wearing her bla­zers will sha­re the story, so that the indus­try will even­tu­al­ly beco­me more envi­ron­men­tal­ly friendly.

Bla­zers are made from fabrics and gar­ments that otherwi­se would have been thrown away. You will find bla­zers mixed with jeans, mili­tary jac­kets, other bla­zers, bom­bers, and old shirts. The­se clot­hes are assem­bled with old quality bla­zers. She only uses Guter­mann thre­ad, a very high-quality thre­ad that adap­ts to all types of fabrics and is resis­tant to bre­aka­ge. No but­ton or rib­bon is added. She reuses the but­tons alre­ady pre­sent on the bla­zer or the item to be assem­bled. Your bla­zer is the­re­fo­re dura­ble and eco-res­pon­si­ble.

NUTT is a com­ple­tely cir­cu­lar brand. Clot­hes that would have ended up in the lan­d­fill are reused and given a second chan­ce. NUTT enco­ura­ges con­su­mers to sha­re its appro­ach and reali­ze that everyo­ne can make a difference.

The sup­ply cha­in is short as the clot­hes are col­lec­ted local­ly and made in its own wor­k­shop in Ams­ter­dam.

Sin­ce the brand wor­ks with the dona­ti­ons it rece­ives, some clot­hing may come from ani­mals. Some NUTT bla­zers, for exam­ple, may con­ta­in wool. As a result, than­ks to the brand, bla­zers or other woolen items are reused. This is gre­at beca­use it avo­ids har­ves­ting new wool and the mate­ri­al is natu­ral and sus­ta­ina­ble.

Upcy­cling is and always will be tren­dy and it’s good for the pla­net. Sin­ce the foun­der makes the bla­zers her­self, they are ava­ila­ble in small quan­ti­ti­es. A bla­zer rema­ins an essen­ti­al in a war­dro­be, your NUTT bla­zer will go with everyt­hing. In addi­ti­on, you will stand out by having a unique bla­zer that is truly a work of art. The bla­zers are uni­sex, so you can lend it or give it to who­ever you want.
