Emipeli Design is a sustainable fashion and wearable art brand founded by artist and designer Emily Rastas. Working exclusively with discarded clothing, textile waste, and dead stock materials, Emipeli creates one of a kind garments that celebrate repair, visibility, and slow fashion.

Emipeli Studio is a branch of this work, partnering with BEAM Education in Chiang Mai, hiring tailoring students to construct garments, giving opportunity and income to women displaced by war in Myanmar.

At its core, Emipeli ethos at it’s core is about using what already exists, recreating flaws into new life, treating wear and tear as evidence of a life lived, and repair as an act of care to reduce textile waste in landfills.
