screen printed 1:1 beanies

Deadstock merino wool beanies (unworn but unwanted), turned inside out and screen printed, reintroduced for a new life.

We helped manage excess garment "waste" from a shuttered men's luxury sportswear brand by turning these lovelorn hats inside out and into unique pieces that celebrates queerness, transformation, fluidity and creative self expression. Traces of the original print are visible, showing the dynamic history and layered narrative that make these beanies so uniquely anti-waste. We love them for their non-automated and DIY feel and slight variations between each hat. No two are exactly the same!

Original beanies made by workers in China, redesigned, screen-printed by hand in Ridgewood, Queens.
