Nostalgic clothing for contemporary women

We believe that slow living, just like during the old times, can help tackle the problems of fast fashion. That’s why we produce small batch classics inspired by Grandma’s favorite wardrobe staple - the Samfu - using only quality rescued fabrics which were otherwise destined for landfills.

Stay rooted with us. Read the Samfu story.

                          This piece is made out of 100% rayon deadstock fabric. This means fabric left over from overproduction usually by larger fashion manufacturers. By using deadstock fabric, we save gallons of water and reduce the amount of textile waste that get sent to the landfills.
                          While fabric has been pre-shrunk, some shrinking might still occur during first few washes. Dry cleaning is recommended.
                          Alternatively, gentle hand wash me separately in cold water and lay flat to dry for best results. Definitely don't bleach or wring or tumble dry me. Steam iron on medium heat.

                                      This piece is made out of 100% rayon deadstock fabric. This means fabric left over from overproduction usually by larger fashion manufacturers. By using deadstock fabric, we save gallons of water and reduce the amount of textile waste that get sent to the landfills.
                                      While fabric has been pre-shrunk, some shrinking might still occur during first few washes. Dry cleaning is recommended.
                                      Alternatively, gentle hand wash me separately in cold water and lay flat to dry for best results. Definitely don't bleach or wring or tumble dry me. Steam iron on medium heat.

                                                    Our inspiration

                                                    Our grandmothers knew sustainability better than us. Growing up, they could rarely afford to purchase new fabric to make new clothes. 

                                                    Since fabric was so precious, it was only practical to create the most functional and versatile style out of the fabric. Preferably, the cut would also be elegant and airy for the summer heat but not too revealing. The Samfu (pronounced some-foo) became the perfect go-to silhouette!

                                                    Nostalgic. Sustainable. Chic.

                                                    This matching shirt and pant suit was so comfortable and flattering for all ages that girls wore them everywhere, from grocery shopping to going on a dinner date.

                                                    For this reason we believe that the Samfu still has a place in every girl's wardrobe today. We might be guilty of being a little nostalgic, but trust our timeless designs to take you effortlessly from day to night and stick around in your wardrobe for a long time.
