why tres sis zero

360º is the full vision we have shaped of the fashion industry. A vision that has driven us to rethink the production cycle, so it’s closer to our values and concerns.

...

360º is the chance we want to give to leftover material that hasn't been used by other brands. We want to give this material an opportunity to do what it was made for in the first place, be the heart of a new collection. 

...

360º is our contribution to a more circular economy, reducing fashion waste one bag at a time.

 

Why buy new materials or create new colours when big companies overestimate their needs and discard these when sales expectations are not met? Often, minimum orders are required by providers of leather, zips or lining resulting in material that will never be used sitting in warehouses.

Why do we need to consume a different style or colour every six months? We love the idea of making this discarded high quality material the starting point of our collection. Their waste is our treasure.

...

This leftover material or deadstock, that hasn’t been used and is therefore new, ends up in warehouses or what is worse, as garbage. These warehouses are like Ali Baba’s cave for us, full of treasure!

We dedicate long hours going through aisles full of leather, textiles or hardware in search of the highest quality goods. Further hours are spent, putting together what we’ve found into a collection. These materials inspire us and these materials dictate the designs.

...

As we only find small quantities of any kind of leather or colour, and because of the difficulty in matching leathers, lining, zips and hardware, our products are always limited edition and therefore unique.

This is also the reason we don’t sell to retailers but only do direct sales. This way we can offer high quality products at a lower retail price.

...

A fundamental part in this new process are the artisans we work with—without their amazing handwork and willingness to make small runs, our project would be impossible. Ours is truly slow fashion. These artisans actively participate in the development with the knowledge they’ve gathered over years of work.

...

We work with craftsmen close to where we source our raw materials to avoid unnecessary transport costs and contamination. Locally sourced, locally crafted.

...

At tres sis zero, the designs are timeless and practical. We prefer not to follow the latest trend, instead making things that last. We like to cherish things ourselves and be mindful of a more durable lifestyle.
