At Studio Catta, we are passionate about sustainable upcycling. This dress has become a beloved Studio Catta upcycled classic, crafted in the historic heart of Amsterdam. The upcycling process is a true embodiment of slow fashion, requiring time and care to select the perfect piece to repurpose. Each dress is one-of-a-kind, as the men’s shirt component is always unique.
This dress, made from a blend of upcycled men’s shirts and new materials, has quickly become a studio staple. Since each fabric and size I come across is different, there’s always an element of surprise in what’s available. However, I strive to keep a few in stock at all times. Every single dress is unique, yet the familiar silhouette returns in different colors with each iteration. In addition to reusing pre-loved items, the dress is further shaped by moulage, making it easy to wear with a classic twist.
