One of XX
Made from what already exists
Hey, Bas here. With One of XX we make clothes from fabrics that already exist. Here's what that means. Every time a fashion brand makes a new collection, factories order more fabric than they'll use. The leftovers, sometimes entire rolls of it, get stored in a warehouse. That's called deadstock. Most of it never becomes anything. It just sits there, or gets thrown away.
One of XX is built entirely from deadstock fabric sourced from factories in Portugal, the same places that produce for some of the biggest names in fashion. We turn those unused rolls into limited, individually numbered garments. When the fabric runs out, that piece is gone.
No new materials, no new water, no new waste. Just giving existing fabrics a better life.
That’s One of XX.
Made from what already exists.
What we do
Our approach
deadstock is structural
Overproduction leaves usable materials behind, often shredded, burned, or stored indefinitely.
water is already in the fabric
Every year, the textile industry uses up to 215 trillion liters of water. New fabric needs new water. Deadstock doesn’t.
We work with what exists
Our system starts from available materials, not from producing new fabric. This saves ~2500 L of water per T-shirt.
#1
Material first
We do not commission new fabric production.
Our design process starts with existing deadstock.
#2
Production follows availability
Core shapes evolve through repetition.
Quantity, color and finish are defined by what exists.
Each garment is individually hand-numbered.
#3
Limited releases
Each release is part of a batch.
Once gone, it does not return.
