OVERLAP STUDIOS IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING A RESPONSIBLE AND TRANSPARENT BRAND WITH ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL CONSIDERATIONS EMBEDDED INTO DECISION MAKING. ENVIRONMENTALLY, WE PRIORITISE QUALITY AND LONGEVITY OVER VOLUME. GARMENTS ARE PRODUCED IN LIMITED RUNS TO REDUCE OVERPRODUCTION AND UNNECESSARY WASTE. WHERE POSSIBLE, WE UTILISE DEADSTOCK FABRICS AND RESPONSIBLY SOURCED MATERIALS, EXTENDING THE LIFE CYCLE OF EXISTING TEXTILES AND MINIMISING EXCESS MANUFACTURING. ALL PIECES ARE HANDMADE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, ALLOWING US TO CLOSELY OVERSEE PRODUCTION STANDARDS WHILE REDUCING TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ASSOCIATED WITH OVERSEAS MANUFACTURING. OUR DESIGN APPROACH FOCUSES ON TIMELESS SILHOUETTES RATHER THAN TREND LED CONSUMPTION, ENCOURAGING CUSTOMERS TO INVEST IN PIECES DESIGNED FOR LONG TERM WEAR. UNSOLD STOCK AND SAMPLES ARE DONATED TO LOCAL CHARITIES, ENSURING GARMENTS REMAIN IN CIRCULATION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY RATHER THAN ENTERING LANDFILL SOCIALLY, WE ARE COMMITTED TO ETHICAL PRODUCTION AND FAIR WORKING CONDITIONS BY PARTNERING WITH UK BASED MAKERS WHO OPERATE WITHIN REGULATED LABOUR STANDARDS. REPRESENTATION IS ALSO CENTRAL TO OUR VALUES. WE AIM TO CELEBRATE DIVERSE WOMEN ACROSS SIZE, BACKGROUND, AND LIVED EXPERIENCE, ENSURING OUR COMMUNITY FEELS SEEN, RESPECTED, AND EMPOWERED THROUGH BOTH PRODUCT AND BRAND STORYTELLING.
