ONE Essentials
ONE Essentials creates inclusive premium essentials. t-shirts, sweatshirts and underwear designed to radically reinvent the everyday wardrobe. Every piece is designed to last, but designed for the end of its lifecycle to circular design principles. Crucially we have replaced convention elastane, which goes nowhere, with an innovative biodegradable alternative.
We are also part of the clean-up, but donating 1% of every sale to textile clean-up initiatives, currently partnering with the OR foundation, who work with those most affected by the largest textile landfill site in the world, in Accra Ghana.
In terms of strengths I have 14 years experience as a fashion designer and consultant for major UK retailers and have a wealth of experience in supply chain management, critical paths, supplier relationships and now the circular economy. I also would love to be able to use ONE Essentials as a test bed for collaborations, as a leader for innovation and pilot projects.
