ROHstoff UPCYCLE WORKSHOP!!!




















Zealous to spread the 'ROHstoff' message I ran the first UPCYCLE workshop this Thursday at Naehinstitut Moritzplatz in the heart of the capital's most diverse & style exuberant district X-berg.
On my agenda was to illustrate how easy it is to find inspiration for 'new' clothes just by searching your wardrobe for things you no longer wear and transforming them into cool custom-made designs.
Everyone brought some preloved things they wanted to 'refresh' so I demonstrated a brief introduction to sewing techniques & gave individual design suggestions to kick-start the ROHstoff process.
Then the girls set about constructing their own wearable creations with a passion & energy that left the air crackle.
We had an absolute blast when everyone realised how easy it is even if you've never used a sewing machine before and after only minutes they were cutting, slicing, tucking & darting.  Here are a few snaps of the gorgeous designs and slogan Tshirts the girls came up with and from the fun of the 'ROHstoff' process ❤.....

BLOG LAUNCH PARTY














  











Last Saturday ROHstoff got together long time London friends and new Berliner friends for the label's first party to officially launch its new blog...

The space was transformed into an actual swap-shop keeping in line with the label's core ethical approach to reuse and cut down waste.  Guests could bring preloved wardrobe items & refresh their outfits with 'new' ones.
Additional party treats included an exclusive blog preview & a free upcycling workshop where party guests had the opportunity to create a ring from left-over denim. Head over to the post to see how.

A HUGE thank you to the ROHstoff crowd & everyone who came!!!

Special thanks to Mikael & Kat for all your support, Tassie & James for your skilled snapping, Iona & Gwen for your helpful hints & the gorgeous Layla for sharing your expertise, mixing the tunes & keeping me sane....
MUCH LOVE.....XXX
