Info

Before Selvedge was a studio, it was a system built inside Urban Darzi - India's first label fully dedicated to upcycling.

New clothes made from old ones: genuine circular production, not deadstock relabelled. We built it from zero - modular outerwear, upcycled capsule drops, a repeatable method that held a consistent point of view across a collection. The constraint of working from existing material became the thing that made the product distinct, and underneath it ran the frameworks that connected circularity to scale.

Covered by Forbes, Vogue, GQ & more - legitimacy for a different kind of Indian fashion story. Those frameworks are the ones Selvedge runs on now.
