THE PROCESS

THE PROCESS

From Leftovers
to Legacy

Red Patch.png

We begin where others stop. With fabric remnants left behind by everyday tailoring and garment-making.

​

Here’s how they come to life at Alterlife:

SOURCING

We partner with independent tailors and designers to collect clean, unused fabric cuttings that would otherwise be discarded.

SORTING & DESIGNING

Every piece is sorted by hand — by texture, colour, and material — before being thoughtfully matched and cut for design.

ARTISAN CRAFTING

Trained women artisans then stitch and construct panels into purposeful products, adding care, character, and quality into each creation.

FINAL TOUCHES

Before they leave our studio, every piece is tested for finish and durability — ensuring it not only tells a story, but stands the test of time.
