What?

In North America, the average person throws away 37 kg of textiles annually which means 10 million tones of clothes reach landfills every year, 95% of which could be reused or recycled. By providing DIY upcycle tutorials and recasting previously owned items, Dibkast offers a platform to help you design the perfect wardrobe with a clear conscience and reduced carbon footprint.

Dibkast has two collections; Couture and Castoff. Upcycle hand sewing tutorials are found within our Couture collection and previously owned goodies are available within our Castoff collection. If you want help choosing which collection to explore first, you can take our Wardrobe Quiz!

Why?

The current environmental impact of fashion production is horrific. The CO2 emissions associated to the fashion industry makes it one of the major polluting industries in the world. Textile waste occupies a concerning percentage of landfills.

Altering habits, priorities and uneducated opinions are no longer concerns for our future. We’re facing the beginning of an ecological and climate crisis. To stand a chance at prolonging the safety of our planet and loved ones, we need to acknowledge the liability of our current materialistic systems and break their corrupted rules.

System change on a global scale is crucial and that change is rooted in individual correction and contribution. Because of this, we ask you to join our cause. With the appreciated help of members from our cast (people like you), we will cast a rebellious message for global change.

How?

Dibkast is the product of the efforts and ingenuity of an eco-conscious fashion lover/woman. We are a proud female-led business. As we work on acquiring the tools and resources that will allow us to provide prompt service, we appreciate your purchases as the affirmation of your support to us, our cause, and women entrepreneurs everywhere. Thank you for helping us grow.

Ecological mindfulness is prioritized at every step of our process. We’re low-key, minimalistic and kind. Kind to our planet, kind to our neighbours and kind to our dear competitors who fight for the same cause.

For who?

The core of our culture emphasizes individuality, inclusivity and diversity. There is love for every colour of the rainbow and we continue to move forward while adapting and adjusting as we grow with your support.

Our collections list 3 fashion archetypes: Gender Neutral, Male Archetypes and Female Archetypes. The idea is to categorize the repeated concepts that have been created through the evolution of fashion. We do not look to divide them; we simply aim to organize them. No style archetype is defined nor is it limited by another. They are based on historical standardized norms, and those norms are greatly influenced by era and preoccupation, which unfortunately encourages gender-based sections. This is an ever-expanding phenomenon, and the diversification of the available wardrobe options will keep evolving for every individual.

Becoming a member of our cast gives you the opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint and discover a new creative outlet and sewing pastime!
