In our latest project with @decathlonsg , we are launching an upcycled bag collection made from Decathlon’s non-functional inventory items such as kayaks, tents and air mattresses. ⛺️♻️ Follow us behind-the-scenes as we speak to the makers behind this project! 🤩✨ P.S. The actual products are handmade by our beneficiaries; the interviewees you see in this video are only in charge of cutting the textiles.

What happens to tournament banners after the event ends? 😱 Together with HSBC Women’s World Championship 2024, we gave event materials a second life through circular design and community craftsmanship. Used tournament banners, reimagined into thoughtfully handcrafted sunglass pouches 😎☀️ Each piece is uniquely one of a kind - carrying different cuts, textures, and stories from the original banners. Thank you for supporting more meaningful and sustainable ways of creating! #Upcycling #CircularDesign

What stayed with us the most weren’t just the processes - but the stories shared by the makers. “We’ve always reused what we had. It was just part of life.” Spending time with the makers from Yuhua SewMates reminded us that craftsmanship has never been separate from sustainability. It was already present - in the way things were repaired, reused, and made with care. This project is not just about how things are made, but about remembering the people, practices, and values we may have overlooked. From the makers to you 🤍 🎓 Created by Kia Jie & Celeste (NUS College) 🤝 In collaboration with Commenhers and its makers from Yuhua SewMates and Adventist Active Ageing Centre #WhoMadeMyClothes #FashionRevolutionWeek #SlowFashion #Craftsmanship #SustainableLiving

Mend in Public Day is our annual day of collective action during Fashion Revolution Week! 🪡 This year, it will be held on 25th April 2026! Join us at Temasek Shophouse from 10am - 1pm (Link in bio) The idea is simple: get out into your local community and stitch in protest against disposable fashion. Amidst busy Saturday shoppers, we repair our torn pockets and broken seams and spark conversations on making Loved Clothes Last. Mend in Public Day stands as a beacon of change in a world inundated with fashion waste. By participating, you’ll be part of a global creative action resisting the cycle of excess through repair and reuse. Get your repair pile (or other fibre crafts!) at the ready, find a Mend In Public Day event near you, or host your own. All skill levels and Fashion Revolutionaries are welcome! 🌍 📸 Featuring Mend In Public Day events from @fash_rev_southafrica , @fashrevdenmark , @fash_rev_scotland , @fash_rev_ph , @fashrev_kenya , @fashrevzim , @fash_rev_venezuela , @fashionrevolutionindia , @fashrev_england 🎶 Music by TVARI from Pixabay

Designed to adapt. Not just a bag — a system. Each piece in our commenhers.lab collection is made to connect, combine, and evolve with you. Wear it as a sling, a backpack, or bring them together as one. Built from reclaimed materials — kayaks, air mattresses, tents — each piece carries a past life, reimagined through process and making. No two are ever the same. Nothing is fixed. Everything is still becoming. Made in small batches with our community of makers 🤍 🛒 Shop online: menhers.com 📍 Or find us at Stitches @ Haji Lane

#GypsiedBatik, repurposed ♻️ It’s been a while since we last posted (sighhh) we’ve been busy working on projects behind the scenes 👀!! But we’re so happy to finally share this one. This collaboration marks our first partnership with @studio.gypsied bringing together batik offcuts and our deadstock fabric archive to create a series of knot bags and coasters. Together, we’re giving new life to these materials — extending their lifespan and keeping them out of landfill. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, with unique batik placements that make every item slightly different from the next. Upycled by our local makers at Commenhers, this collection supports craft, creates microjob opportunities, and empowers our community through making. Thank you Aqilah & @studio.gypsied for trusting us with this project! ✨ One-of-a-kind pieces 🌱 Made from reclaimed materials 🤝 Built through local collaboration Available exclusively via @studio.gypsied ’s website for a limited time — while pieces last.

This International Women’s Day, we’re honouring Nuryanee Anisah, the mind, heart, and co-founder of Commenhers — a community‑centred initiative that transforms textile waste into new possibilities for women. To Yanee, giving looks like patience, presence, and creating environments where women feel safe to try, learn, and belong. The moments that keep her rooted in this work are simple but powerful: a maker discovering their confidence again, perfecting a skill, or earning an income they feel proud of. She sees learning as a pathway to dignity — something that strengthens not only individuals, but the circles and communities around them. She protects her own wellbeing too, establishing boundaries and leaning on support when she needs it. Here’s to women who nurture growth, build community, and spark change in quiet and meaningful ways. 🌻✨ #IWD2026 #GiveToGain #HandsThatGiveHeartsThatGrow #PPIS #Commenhers #IWD
