Crea-Up

WHERE WE STARTED
wetheknot was founded by Sérgio and Filipe, a fashion designer and graphic designer. They met in Porto back in 2011 and started working together with the mutual goal of creating contemporary objects that they could envision using and wearing in the long term. Thus, they started wetheknot by repurposing materials they already had and transforming them into actual pieces — such as using broken umbrellas and turning them into swim shorts — always viewing sustainability as a regular practice.

How far we came
Nowadays our product ranges from clothing to accessories made from sustainable and premium quality materials that are mainly produced in Portugal. Our aim isn’t perfection, but to evolve with the times and to keep on bettering our practices at every step of the way. We believe this can be done by following a holistic approach, focusing equally on social, environmental, and economic issues, how these connect and interact.

Where we head
What matters is the intention. Being sustainable is about making informed decisions, bearing in mind how they will impact people and the planet, and that’s what we aim to do. This is our conscious alternative inside the fashion industry’s current discourse and our way to face the multiple challenges of the 21st century.
