Sustainability at Out Till Morning

Formerly IVY Berlin

At Out Till Morning, we believe fashion should be made with intention. Formerly known as IVY Berlin, our label continues to do things the way we always have: handmade, made to order, and rooted in Berlin. For us, sustainability starts with how we produce. We only make what is actually needed, avoiding large quantities of excess stock that might end up discounted, forgotten, or thrown away.

We also make a conscious effort to minimize waste throughout our production process. Whenever possible, fabric scraps and leftover materials get a second life in our collections. Jacket offcuts can become patchwork corsets, mesh scraps are turned into crop tops and smaller pieces, and leftover elastic from bikini production is reused as loops for attaching hardware to skirts. We love finding new ways to turn what might otherwise be waste into something worth wearing.

But our responsibility doesn't end with our own production. Materials we can't use ourselves are passed on through our local creative network. We share fabric offcuts with Rumble, a local nonprofit that uses them for free sewing lessons with young people, as well as with independent designers whose work is sold through our Berlin retail store. We believe sharing resources and supporting small, local makers helps build a more circular fashion community.

Even the smallest scraps can have a purpose. Materials that are no longer suitable for clothing are passed on to Wooden Berlin, a local business that uses fabric scraps to apply oil to its handmade wooden furniture. It's a small but meaningful way to keep materials in use for longer instead of sending them straight to waste.

We want your favorite pieces to last. That's why we offer repairs on any piece you've loved to literal pieces. Ripped your leggings after wearing them for three days straight at a festival? Get in touch. No longer wearing your mini dress and want to turn it into a crop top and skirt? Get in touch. Lost the chain attachment to your favorite skirt? We've got you. We'd rather help you give a piece a second life than see it sitting unworn in your wardrobe or ending up in landfill.

We keep our packaging simple, too. Online orders are packed using minimal paper and cardboard, and we avoid plastic packaging wherever possible.

For us, sustainability isn't about being perfect. It's about constantly questioning how we work, reducing unnecessary waste, and finding better ways to use the resources we already have. While our name has evolved from IVY Berlin to Out Till Morning, our values remain the same. We're committed to keeping our production local, making thoughtfully, and finding new ways to make alternative fashion a little more circular.

Same hands, same values, new name. Out Till Morning, formerly IVY Berlin.
