Sustainable textile production with impact

Did you know that the Sheltersuit Foundation also offers tailor-made sustainable textile production with impact? In our social atelier, we carry out projects for companies and organizations with care and craftsmanship. In doing so, we create opportunities for people with extraordinary stories—those who have faced challenges finding their place in society again. At the same time, we are deeply committed to sustainability: we repair, reuse, and give materials a second life.

When we talk about sustainable textile production with impact, we mean outsourcing production—from repairing existing products to creating clothing or accessories made from leftover materials. No mass production or fast fashion trends, but durable, functional products with real meaning. In this way, you contribute to a circular economy and to a society where everyone can take part.

Fiswear - fashion that matters

A great example of collaboration is our partnership with Fiswear.
This brand, founded on the mission of its creator Thomas, is dedicated to fashion with social value. What began with making sweaters together with his mother has grown into a label that aims to offer new opportunities to young people.

Fiswear produces locally in our social atelier. This is where we join forces: we provide a space for growth and craftsmanship, and they strengthen their mission through impactful clothing. By combining our expertise, we build a future together—one where care, quality, and involvement take center stage.

Fiswear proves that fashion can be more than style—it can be a story, a mission, a way to connect.

Liffin & Sheltersuit Factory

A powerful example of how sustainability and social impact come together is our collaboration with Liffin.
This company provides temporary accommodations and camping solutions for festivals and events such as Zwarte Cross, Defqon, and Tomorrowland. After these festivals, hundreds of abandoned sleeping bags were collected—thanks to Liffin and in cooperation with other committed partners. Materials that would otherwise have been lost now get a second life in our social atelier, where they are transformed into warm linings for the Sheltersuit, helping protect people experiencing homelessness from cold and rain.

Through this collaboration, Liffin discovered that at Sheltersuit, we also carry out sustainable textile production with social impact. They now call on our atelier to repair damaged festival tents. Thanks to our skilled makers, these tents are carefully restored and put back to use—reducing waste and creating employment for people with extraordinary stories.

Together, we extend the life of materials and build a future where sustainability, inclusivity, and opportunity go hand in hand.
