XANDRES LAB

THE XANDRES LAB FOR INNOVATION IS ABOUT THE ART OF EXPERIMENTING AND INNOVATING. OUR RICH HERITAGE HAS NEVER STOPPED US FROM WANTING TO GO FORWARD—OR RATHER, FULL CIRCLE. ALTHOUGH CRAFTING A PERFECTLY CLOSED SYSTEM MAY BE AN ELUSIVE GOAL, WE'RE ACTIVELY SEEKING OUT PROJECTS AND LAUNCHING EXPERIMENTS TO CLOSE OUR LOOP. WHILE IT IS LIKELY IMPOSSIBLE TO CREATE A CLOSED SYSTEM, WE ARE LOOKING FOR PROJECTS AND SETTING UP EXPERIMENTS TO CLOSE OUR LOOP.

The term 'Lab' is a fusion of 'collab,' symbolizing collaboration, and 'laboratory,' representing experimentation. Within the theoretical framework of circular economy, there is no waste and clothing finds new purpose at the end of its lifecycle. Although it is impossible for a brand like Xandres to fully achieve this, we are actively looking for solutions such as reusing leftover fabric.

Next to working with research organisations on future minded projects, we also team up with innovative, purpose-driven brands and designers. We stand by like-minded labels, providing them with a platform, because we firmly believe that together, we can learn, grow, and create a more significant impact.
