Beauty is timeless, and it would be a shame not to re-evaluate it. But this is not the only reason that prompted us to create this project: tons of fabrics are sent to the pulp mill every year, a custom that is the result of a market continually stimulated by useless needs, with a compulsive hunger for novelty.
Fabrics from the waste of high fashion creations, pret a porter; fibers such as silk, velvet, wool, up to shimmering and super rock lurex.
We went in search of these wonders, otherwise destined for landfill, and thought about how they could be welcomed into our reality. It is unthinkable to use them to produce our baby carriers: only certified fabrics, no exceptions.
We therefore thought of embellishing the gift boxes, eliminating the pre-existing packaging and producing baby carrier cases, all different, until we end up with rolls of wonder.
We like to imagine how they could be used in the future: as a travel linen bag, a document holder and, in moments of pure romance, even as a love letter case!
Only for the most valuable ones have we thought of a different destiny, building the exteriors of our Covers for Mei Tai , lined with our fabrics: in this way, in contact with the baby, only safety; in view of the world, the beauty.
"Once I was" for us is a way of giving new life and renewed dignity not only to fabrics, but also to the hands that produced it, to the creative minds that designed it. At work, what ennobles man.
