Talk about innovation and fashion in one unique piece of clothing! If you’re interesting in being both fashion-forward and eco-friendly, then you should definitely check out Himane’s Upcycled Umbrella Skirt. Instead of buying material to make a skirt, Himane just reuses old umbrellas. Not only is this an environmentally conscious practice, but it is also creative and trendy! This one-of-a-kind article of clothing can give you something to feel good about while being stylish at the same time. Himane prides itself on upcycling and making clothes that are green and in style. One article of clothing at a time, they are making a tremendous impact on the planet and world of fashion.

Product Description:

At HIMANE we design and produce innovative, quality, one-of-a-king clothing which is made from hand-picked, locally-sourced, recycled clothing, donated fabrics, and broken umbrellas.

We aim to exceed peoples’ expectations of what recycled clothing can be by creating garments which don’t look obviously recycled and which are directional yet wearable. By using old clothes, vintage fabrics, buttons, trim and lace, broken umbrellas, recycled materials we are not adding to the already gigantic amount of waste in the world today but instead, are “Upcycling” these forgotten treasures into one of a kind collectibles.
