Started by Tejal Deshpande—a textile designer from National Institute of Design (NID), India, this startup creates interesting upcycled items. They use old clothes to create hand-knitted style items ranging from baskets and bags to tableware. Their products look modern, colourful and extremely sturdy given their knitting style. You can send them your own discarded garments and they  will create something worth reusing!
