EBONY SEED The project

Ebony Seed recirculate old pre-loved clothing articles back into the system, by either extending their life, down/upcycling them or reutilising sections in new sustainable collections. They also enable migrant workers to find work designing and being part of the local economy.

Where

Ebony Seed held their showcase within the new space of Ebony Seed in Cork.

Target audience

Attendees ranged from other small business, designers, and collectors. Local community. Designers and prospective investors also attended.

Format

Ebony Seed showed attendees the process start to finish of RNA with examples of end products. They had some of our in-house designers speaking about their experience about the work they do.

How did it go?

“Attendees really enjoyed their time learning more about our business and its proposal to circular ecosystem,” says founder Sam Kiernan.

Learnings

They made many new connections and potential partnerships from the showcase. By directly advertising their offering and encouraging the community to get involved, they were able to demonstrate the impact and importance of the circular economy.
