Desigual

I really like the Spanish design brand Desigual. Their clothes are unique and even though their clothes are mass produced they look like they are repurposed or recycled.
One sweater really took my fancy last year and since it looked like it was made out of scraps of other sweaters I decided to have a go at making one for my husband.



I took a bunch of old sweaters that were no longer used (either they had holes from years of wear or stains that didn't come out). I used the back from one sweater, the sleeves from another, the neckline from yet another and then just bits from them all and made a patchwork front. I then sewed all the parts together and this is the outcome.
