👋 Ahoj! Here's a wee re-introduction of myself 👋 Ahoj! Here's a wee re-introduction of myself and brand/work for the new people here 😋

I’m Melisa Minca, an upcycling wizard’s sleeve based in Berlin. I am a self-taught upcycler, specialising in re-working pre-loved items to give them a new life. However, sometimes we use brand new materials for commissions as we can't afford to say ‘no’ these days. 

Inspiration comes from 90s fashion and my addiction to documentaries. Fashion will always be political for me!

My natural progression was to become anal about the scraps I produce and reusing them. Will this result in hoarding? We will see :D So far balancing the amount of stock is working out. We don’t overproduce and don’t believe in discounts unless the item has been damaged at shoots.

Would love to hear your feedback, also if there are any breakages, we are happy to fix up if you let us know. As I'm aware from learning and improving skills on a daily basis, items from the past can be improved :) 

PS: My post-apocalyptic plan is to move to a tiny island and live off the land, making the most delicious bryndza in the world 🐑 What’s yours?
