MIMMO Studios x Shiv Textiles Aoife Cushion

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.”
