MATERIALS

At Art By Mummi, we use carefully selected recycled materials to create products that stand out for their individuality and durability. Sourcing materials is one of the most important aspects of our work. Our focus is on using materials with the smallest possible environmental impact.

Uniqueness and durability from recycled materials – responsible choices with a smaller environmental footprint.

1. Where do the materials come from?

We source recycled materials from a variety of places, including:

  • Surplus and second-hand materials: We use pre-loved clothing and household textiles sourced from recycling centers and thrift stores, giving them a new life at Art By Mummi’s studio.
  • Donations: We accept material donations from individuals and companies.
  • Ecologically collected materials: Whenever possible, we use natural materials like recycled wool or linen, collected responsibly and with respect for the environment.

2. How do we select materials?

Every material is chosen with care. We evaluate quality in terms of durability and versatility, ensuring each material is thoroughly inspected before use. This guarantees that the material is suitable for the intended product. Recycled materials also bring an element of surprise—each piece is unique and carries its own story.

3. Environmental impact

Using recycled materials reduces the need for new raw resources, which in turn lowers environmental strain. Art By Mummi is committed to reducing textile waste and promoting circular economy practices by utilizing existing materials as efficiently as possible. Every reused material is a step toward a more sustainable future.

4. Why choose recycled materials?

Recycled materials are not only an eco-friendly choice but also add a unique aesthetic and character to the products. Each material has a story of its own, making it entirely possible that the bag or garment you use was once a curtain, a pair of jeans, or surplus fabric. This makes every product one-of-a-kind and truly special.

5. Commitment to sustainability

Using recycled materials is a cornerstone of our dedication to sustainability. We continuously strive to improve our processes and find new ways to use materials that are both beautiful and environmentally responsible.
