Tiny Biography
wetheknot’s motto is to inspire people to live with fewer timeless pieces that are made to last. Filipe and Sérgio, started wetheknot as a personal side project back in 2011, with the idea of creating objects that met the needs of contemporary everyday life. It all began by reusing broken umbrellas left abandoned on the street that were upcycled and then transformed into swim shorts, unfolding wetheknot's debut collection: WET. After 2015, they started designing accessories, such as pouches, pencil cases, and roll-top backpacks in vegan leather, all still in production nowadays. A few years later, wetheknot also released a permanent collection of clothing, with the goal to offer essential and lasting pieces that can be used daily. Sustainable sourcing and ethical production have always been a fundamental part of the brand’s approach. In 2020, wetheknot release their first made-to-order collection. An on-demand model that implies producing pieces individually each time an order is placed — by designing and making garments this way, the aim was to make fashion more intentional.
