Grandpa's Shirts x Unsold. Retold.
Grandpa’s Shirts began in 2020, when founder Gaby transformed her late grandpa’s impressive shirt collection into pieces for herself and her sister to wear. Today, the brand creates one-of-a-kind clothing from pre-loved shirting, proving that upcycled fashion can still be wearable, trend-led and beautifully made. Highlights include two Selfridges pop-ups, a collaboration with Luena Gama and a feature in Elle Japan.
For Unsold. Retold., Gaby experimented with original materials beyond classic menswear shirting for the first time, resulting in some beautiful outcomes.
