The TONLÉ design team scours the remnant markets in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where pre-consumer textile waste from large garment factories is collected and resold. Back at the sewing workshop, makers and designers work together to create designs from the larger pieces of reclaimed fabric. The small scraps left over from making those garments are cut and individually sewn into yarn. The yarn is then handwoven and knit into new pieces—this process creates TONLÉ’s iconic twice-recycled fabric pieces.
