· The story ·
Lalo runs a micro-mill inside a repurposed bakery in Vila Madalena, where he sources yarn from deadstock t-shirt factories across São Paulo state. Everything is dyed with mango skin, beetroot, or avocado pits — which means no two pairs are identical. He donates 12% of every sale to Instituto Alana.
“The waste from one factory is the raw material for another.”
