About the Makers:

This piece was created by tonlé, a Cambodian brand that set the standard for zero-waste fashion from 2008 to 2023. Founded on the principle that nothing should go to waste, tonlé transformed textile scraps and remnants from Cambodia's garment industry into thoughtfully designed clothing through innovative production techniques and ethical manufacturing practices. Working with skilled local artisans, tonlé proved that beautiful, functional apparel could be created entirely from materials destined for landfills. Though the brand closed in 2023, this piece represents one of the last remaining items from tonlé's 15-year legacy of zero-waste design and sustainable fashion. tonlé's legacy continues through Conscious Assembly and KaTik.

Materials and Care: 

The upcycled textile is handwoven from strips of upcycled jersey textile yarn through our sustainable, zero waste process in which no fabric goes unused. Each unique piece will have slight variations in size and texture due to the handmade and recycled nature of the textile.

We believe in creating products that last. To keep your tonlé jacket looking its best while minimizing environmental impact: 

• Spot clean when possible
• Hand wash in cold water if needed
• Lay flat or hang to dry in shade
• Iron on low heat if desired
• Keep out of direct sunlight to preserve colors

These care practices help extend your item's life while reducing energy use and protecting our waterways. As one of the last remaining tonlé pieces, proper care will help preserve this item's legacy for years to come.
