Salvaged Fabric

The garments are made with fabrics that are collected from fabric cutting factories. The fabric is what the mass producing designers thrown away. The fabric is salvaged to keep it from the landfills. Since IQTEST's beginning in 2003 it has only used salvaged fabrics.

Curently

Currently IQTEST is focused on raising awareness about the environmental impact of the waste and toxic pollution the mass disposal of textiles is causing on the worlds environment. 28 million ton of fabric reaches the landfills each year. No environmental laws are in effect to control what the companies do with fabric waste.

Motto

The cutting factory waste needs to be recycled to protect the worlds environment.

One of a kind

Each piece is made by hand and is unique. Many of the pieces have original art work on them. Screen print ink backgrounds with hand drawn images made with nontoxic fabric marker or paint. Each piece is unique through the limited quantity of salvaged fabric and that each one is made by hand. Each garment is considered an original art piece. These pieces carry the message with them about the need to recycle, reuse and salvage fabric conserving the planets environment.
