Upcycling – Turning Waste into Sustainable Streetwear
Upcycling is how we turn old threads into fresh fashion. At Ndáko, we give pre-loved and discarded materials a second life by transforming them into unique, high-quality streetwear. It’s a creative, eco-conscious way to reduce waste, cut pollution, and shift the fashion industry toward sustainability.
Why Is Upcycling Sustainable?
Upcycling is one of the most powerful ways to support a circular fashion economy. By repurposing existing materials, we:
-
Divert waste from landfills
-
Reduce demand for virgin resources
-
Lower carbon emissions
-
Conserve energy and raw materials
For you, it means wearing pieces that are one-of-a-kind, impactful, and full of soul. For the planet, it means less waste, more renewal, and a better future.
Where Our Materials Come From?
We source second-hand clothing and materials through sustainable channels like:
-
Vinted – Buying directly from private sellers
-
Het Goed – A Dutch second-hand chain committed to social sustainability
-
Local Donations – Generous community support fuels our creativity
Each piece in our Hip Upz collection is handpicked, reworked, and reborn — making your streetwear as unique as your story.
