Unisex Modern Patchwork Sweatshirt - Constance Wilde

This one-of-a-kind unisex style was created by Constance Wilde, a creative project by Rachel Faller that transforms textile waste into wearable art. Some styles are made by Rachel and some are created in partnership with the team at Esperanza - no two pieces are alike. Constance Wilde pieces use multiple artisanal techniques - from hand painting and screen printing to embroidery and patchwork - to upcycle pre-loved clothing in the US and demonstrate how "trash can be treasured" through thoughtful design and creative material reuse. Working with deadstock, upcycled clothing, and other rescued materials, Constance Wilde creates pieces that are both unique and accessible, balancing artistic expression with everyday wearability. Pre-existing garments are given new life while maintaining their unique character. Curated Constance Wilde styles available at Conscious Assembly represent our commitment to extending the lifecycle of existing clothing while maintaining high standards for style and quality.

Materials and Care

Made primarily from second-hand jersey cotton fabrics, primarily composed of soft cotton blends that offer comfort, breathability, and durability for everyday wear. We believe in creating fashion that lasts. To keep your knit garment looking its best while minimizing environmental impact:

• Wash in cold water using gentle cycle
• Lay flat or hang to dry in shade to maintain shape
• Steam rather than iron if needed
• Wash with similar colors
• Consider spot cleaning when possible
• Avoid hanging wet knits on sharp hangers

With proper care, your upcycled design will maintain its beauty while the garment continues to have minimal impact on our environment.
