SABOT creates custommade garments all handmade only using deadstock and upcycled materials .

Sabot creates custommade garments for creatures. As a technological extension of bodies, it aims to celebrate our ways of negotiating visual expressions in social space. In the 17th century, French technology critics called Luddites sabotaged the production plants of novel industrial machinery by throwing their wooden clogs into the gears until they stopped turning. 'Clog' is 'sabot' in French, and thereby came the word 'sabotage.' By creating garments ourselves and supporting small, local textile businesses, we reclaim the power to express ourselves beyond the turning machinery of big fashion industries. We work with upcycling materials including leather from old couches, silverware and denim. We experiment with different handcrafts and focus on working project-oriented playing with designs that evolve from the potential the different materials hold.
