Collection: Shiv Textiles

Greatly valuing regeneration, zero waste and offsetting carbon footprint, Siobhan Martin’s products breathe new energy into forgotten textiles. In 2017, Siobhan conceptualised Shiv Textiles in her bedroom as a reaction against the textile waste she’d witnessed first-hand by some of the fashion industry’s biggest names. Sourcing yarns, zips, threads and buttons all due for landfill, Siobhan crafted an empire for herself giving these once discarded items a new lease of life.

“This process never gets beige-and-boring. You have to think on your feet. Design with what you have. Every box of upcycled materials that lands in my studio feels like a small victory.”

Intricately handcrafted with care in Brighton, Shiv Textiles has proudly resurrected 797 kg of industrial textile waste since 2021; putting the planet first is at the heart of Siobhan's practice and has never looked so beautiful. 

“We are on a mission to throw away our throwaway culture.”
