Constructing a reversible denim trench coat by piecing together multiple shades of thrifted denim and lining it with upcycled vintage bedsheets. Watch the process of laying out the panels, arranging the patchwork, and finishing the inner lining.
This upcycled trench coat merges heritage and innovation through a quilt-like patchwork of reclaimed denim and secondhand shirts. Inspired by Ghana’s SANKOFA philosophy, it blends past and future, uniting denim’s global history with African craftsmanship. Each stitch celebrates individuality and sustainability, transforming waste into wearable art that embodies unity in diversity, eco-conscious style, and the beauty of repurposed materials.
As a designer, SYSO is passionate about reducing waste in the fashion industry and promoting a more conscious approach to style.
