Commissions + collaborations
Work with us
Sans Soucie offers bespoke commissions and specialist textile upcycling development for private clients, brands, manufacturers, educators and cultural organisations. Led by Katherine Soucie, the studio combines artisanal and industrial upcycling methods to transform textile waste and existing materials into new textiles, garments, accessories and artworks.
Custom Garments, Costume & Artwork
For those seeking an individual piece, Sans Soucie offers a waste textile material-led approach to design, developed through a conversation about your ideas, requirements and the materials available.
Commissions include:
Client-supplied textiles and garments may be incorporated following an assessment of their suitability for the project.
Industry, Research & Education
Sans Soucie works with brands, textile mills, manufacturers, designers and educators to investigate the possibilities within textile waste and develop approaches to its reuse.
Commissions and collaborations include:
Projects draw on Katherine’s experience of transforming waste hosiery, sock and wool manufacturing waste through material experimentation, textile skills and the creative use of existing machinery.
How a commission works
Each project begins with an enquiry. All commissions require a 50% deposit.
- Step 1
Enquiry
Share a brief description of your idea, your approximate budget, preferred completion date and any materials you would like to use. Images and references are welcome.
- Step 2
Initial discussion
We talk through your ideas, requirements and the materials available to assess suitability and studio availability.
- Step 3
Proposal
You receive a proposal outlining the scope of work, fees, timescale and payment terms. Cancellation and refund terms are provided before booking.
- Step 4
50% deposit + re-making
A 50% deposit confirms your commission and reserves studio time. Work begins once the proposal is accepted and the deposit received; the balance and any additional costs or review stages are outlined in your proposal.
To discuss a bespoke commission or industry collaboration, please include your project idea, budget and intended timeframe so that we can assess its suitability and studio availability.
