THE NEUTHREAD STORY

Since launching in 2022 with support from the National Lottery Community Fund, Neuthread has been redefining what sustainable fashion looks like. We transform discarded textiles into high-fashion statement pieces — proving that style, ethics and community can go hand in hand.

In 2024, Neuthread achieved a landmark moment with our own scheduled show at London Fashion Week in Soho, showcasing bold design, sustainable innovation and the creative brilliance of neurodivergent designers on one of the world’s most influential fashion stages.

Building on this momentum, we secured additional support through the National Lottery Climate Change Grant, enabling us to open our first factory and Skills Academy in 2025. This milestone brings sustainable production, creative education and meaningful employment opportunities together under one roof.

Every year, over 32 billion garments are produced worldwide — and 64% end up in landfill. Neuthread exists to challenge that waste. Every garment we create begins as a donated textile from Daisy Chain Retail: curtains, bedding, pre-loved clothing and unsellable stock that would otherwise be discarded. Our team gives these fabrics a second life through intentional design, expert craftsmanship and a commitment to ethical production.

At Neuthread, sustainability isn’t just a process — it’s our purpose. But our purpose extends far beyond the garments we create.
