take five: maki squarepatch
Maki Squarepatch has been all ove lately. I’ve seen them featured on a buncha of blogs, both for their design and their eco-friendliness. They use recycled clothing to make bags and all sorts of cute stuff. Xin of the sister team took a minute (or five! that’s cheesy, sorry) just for me! She’s the one on the right in the photo above, Enqi (the other half of the team) is on the left and the pretty kitty is Maki Sqaurepatch.
Check out her answers below and definitely check out their site, which is having a killer sale right now.
How old are you? Where do you live?
I’m 24, and live in Singapore.
What’s your inspiration? How did you get started?
We got started in July 2006 with the key goal of recycling from pre-loved apparel and fabric scraps into something whole new, colorful and fresh to another person’s eyes.
What is it about indie fashion that you like?
That its a little like indie films and music, they are raw and unpolished, making art within limitations. There’s no stopping, and that should be the way.
Tell us your favorite undiscovered site or designer.
The girls of pencilsandneedles.blogspot.com.
What is going on in your workspace at this second?
Padding up an old bag of mine, so i can carry my new polaroid camera around.
