Green Efforts
Fabric
Majority of our stocks are created from upcycled or preloved clothing and upholstery, deadstock fabrics, and fabrics donated from our friends and family from past projects. On the occasion that we do purchase fabrics, we do so from the Lapjesmarkt in Utrecht, or from the fabric shops at Chinatown.
Material
Our zippers close the loop in garment production. Sourced from the Japanese company YKK’s NATULON® product lines, our zippers are made from recycled materials including PET bottles through innovative material recycling technology.
Garment Manufacturing
The fabrics and materials are then lovingly put together in Singapore
by Acacia and Joan.
Garment Preservation
It is now in your hands to care for your clothes so that they last as long as possible.
Follow the care instructions on the clothing labels affectionately. Wash your clothes less to reduce your carbon footprint and maintain your pieces in their best conditions.

Slow Down
In order to reduce wastage and to allow our seamstress healthy working hours, we only produce your pieces once you order and pay for them. They will take one month to be made and to reach your hands. We appreciate your patience on this but hey, good things are worth waiting for, right?
Do check our FAQ page for more information.
In House Recycling
Paper and fabric byproducts are kept and reused or recycled in house by the Acqulior Team. Recycled paper is crafted into artisanal paper which we use as part of our packaging, and scrap fabric is used as pin cushion stuffing.
If fabrics cutoffs are large enough, they are put to use in sample making, dye testing or pattern pieces in toiles. Even our packaging is designed to be reusable, durable, and recyclable.
