SUSTAINABLE FASHION THAT COMPLEMENTS INDIVIDUALITY
Your clients' fashion choices are a reflection of their personality and style, and our upcycling process ensures their clothes are as unique as they are.
Upcycling means creating custom and unique pieces, sometimes even one-of-a-kind. It's also an opportunity for fashion lovers to make a positive impact and wear something of true value.
By repurposing pieces your customers no longer wear and transforming them into something they'll cherish, you're sending a powerful message: We care. At THE LABORATOIRE., all of our upcycling projects are designed by Dan Pontarlier, but we work closely with each customer to ensure the final product perfectly reflects their individual style and tastes.
We offer a wide range of designs, from a selection of premade patterns that can be adapted to the pieces, to exclusive custom orders. Our designer will provide suggestions to enhance the shape and look of the garment, while always keeping the client's preferences in mind.
When you choose THE LABORATOIRE. for your upcycling needs, you can trust that we'll create a unique, personalized piece that you'll love - all while making a positive impact on the environment. Contact us to learn more about our custom upcycling services.

WEARABLE UPCYCLED ART
Wearable art, also known as Artwear or "art to wear", is a form of artistic expression that fuses fashion with fine art. These individually designed pieces of handmade clothing or jewelry are created with a focus on expression, beauty, and creativity.
In the past, fashion has often been seen as a secondary art form, overshadowed by painting, music, sculpture, or architecture. However, we believe that fashion is one of the purest expressions of art because it is a form of art that is lived on a daily basis. Wearable art takes this idea to the next level, allowing individuals to wear unique, expressive pieces that serve as a reflection of their innermost selves.
At THE LABORATOIRE., we are committed to elevating fashion to the same stature as other art forms. Our upcycling techniques allow us to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are not only beautiful, but also eco-friendly and sustainable. We work transforming pre-loved garments and materials into wearable art that your customers will cherish.
Through our designs, we seek to challenge traditional ideas of gender and shape, creating unique, expressive pieces that empower individuals to express their true selves. We believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and beautiful in their own skin, and our wearable art pieces are designed to do just that.
Join us in our mission to change the way we view fashion and elevate it to the same status as other art forms.
