Cardboard, construction nets and coffee pods go couture

ANGELINA Jolie this week unveiled Atelier Jolie, a fashion house that will exclusively use leftover textiles in its products.

In an Instagram post announcing the launch on Wednesday (May 17), Jolie says her journey towards starting the brand stemmed partly from “a desire to make use of the high-quality vintage material and deadstock material already available”.

With more than a million tonnes of textiles ending up in landfills every year, brands like Atelier Jolie fill an important gap in the fashion supply chain, bringing otherwise-wasted materials back into the fore.
