In 2018, we launched the Weave Exchange as part of our circularity programs in an effort to “close the loop” with our Proud Weave Wearers. It’s an opportunity for them to return their pre-loved ANTHILL pieces that they are no longer able to or want to wear. In exchange, they get gift cards that they can use on their next purchase. 

As of 2021, we have received around 150 pieces, these items along with its stories and nostalgic memories go to our REWEAVE Collection.

This program then led us to grow our community to new Proud Weave Wearers and make our weaves be loved longer. 

Our REWEAVE Collection is a one-of-a-kind “always loved” line, filled with ANTHILL pieces from our collection samples, prototypes, and cared-for items by our Proud Weave Wearers ready to be passed on to the next one. We reconstruct and repair these items to extend the product life cycle of our weaves. The items in this collection are usually marked down to 40%-50% off, making our weaves more accessible.

From waste to worth: We're weaving a sustainable future, one scrap at a time. What began with a desire to address textile waste has blossomed into a community-powered movement.

This initiative not only diverts textiles from landfills but also empowers the community in recycling and our local artisans through income generation while fostering traditional weaving and sewing skills. We're proving that circularity, creativity, and community collaboration can create stunning, sustainable textiles and a brighter future for all.

Tackling textile waste, one partnership at a time. The fashion industry's massive waste problem demands innovative solutions. ANTHILL's Corporate Circularity Partnership empowers businesses to become agents of change. 

We transform textile waste – from fabric scraps to commercial deadstock – into valuable new products through our Zero Waste Weave and expanded upcycling initiatives at our Barrio circularity hub.

Partner with us to donate textile waste, participate in buy-back programs for custom products like uniforms, or create unique corporate gifts. Join us in weaving a sustainable future and demonstrate your commitment to a circular economy.

Our zero waste weaves are the fruition of our collaborative work with the Argao Weaving Community in Cebu, ​​our Textile and Innovation Center. Fabric scraps are cut and sorted by hand and are rewoven into new fabrics.

Learn more about the process and program here.

Fabric Scrambles are another version of our fabrics that embodies our commitment to circularity and zero waste. These are crafted from sorted handwoven fabric scraps using a quilt sandwich technique for durability. They come in various colors and sizes.

Learn more about them here.

Since the start of our operations back in 2010, we had accumulated textile wastes from production end cuts and fabric remnants of woven and non-woven fabrics. As our business slowly grew, so did our fabric wastes. 

Wanting to be part of the solution, we decided that these fat quarters of fabric scraps can also be sold as a product. They are sorted and bundled together to be sold in either 1/4 or 1/2 kilo. Many of our community members made use of our scraps for their personal craft projects. The last one to three meters of our handwoven textiles called Last Cuts are also sold at a lesser price, marked down at 30%.  

We're weaving a circular future with programs designed to keep our weaves in circulation for generations. Our commitment goes beyond creating beautiful, sustainable textiles; it's about extending the life cycle of every piece. Our circularity initiatives include:

1. Weave Exchange + Reweave: "Close the loop" by returning pre-loved ANTHILL pieces for a gift card, giving them a chance to be loved again through our REWEAVE Collection, featuring unique, reconstructed items at accessible prices. Learn more about our Weave Exchange Program here.
