Hi,
I'm Sophie Vakili and I'm the founder of VAKILI.
As a world traveller I´ve always been shocked by the amount of waste
that could be found in the most remote places of the planet.
After working for many years in the fashion industry
and contributing to the throw-away culture
I have decided to act and use my experience
to reduce the amount of waste in the environment.
VAKILI is the first online store
dedicated exclusively to upcycling design.
Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials
into products of better quality and value.
VAKILI offer handmade products
made from a large diversity of materials,
which singularity and flaws make every piece unique.
For example: handbags made of firehose,
or security belts,
cushions made of pull rings,
jewels made of bottle caps,
furniture made of skateboard decks.
Our clients are women and men who love fashion
but want to stand out from the crowd and who, to a certain extent,
want their purchase to have a social or ecological impact.
On VAKILI you will find new, original and exclusive fashion and home accessories
that will allow you to fully express your personality.
Moreover each item purchased will reduce the amount of waste in the environment
and 3% of the purchase amount will be reinvested in social projects.
VAKILI aims to introduce you to new designers in responsible design
and to offer a new shopping experience where the customer, the environment and the community all win.
Because that’s the way it should be.
We launch in France and Spain next September.
Register on www.vakili.fr or www.vakili.es to get information about our launch
or follow us on Facebook or twitter.
Thanks!
