Shapeshifter makes environmentally friendly and ethically sound denim overalls for kids and adults using 100% cotton pre-consumer upcycled denim that's sourced from a closed-loop third-generation textile mill in Guatemala. Pieces like overall skirts and shorts are ethically manufactured in Australia and can even be accented with patches to create custom designs.
As part of introducing its third collection on Kickstarter, Shapeshifter created a simplified sewing pattern of its signature overalls for kids to help people make their very own pair. Additionally, the brand is also offering a Kickstarter exclusive in the form of sustainable denim fabric that can be used for other applications.
To support those who back the campaign, some rewards even offer multiple years worth of repairs, patching and customization services to ensure the longevity of the sustainable garments.
