4. OhSevenDays

Based out of Istanbul, Turkish brand OhSevenDays prides itself on making slow fashion styles from deadstock leftovers. When the brand started, it relied on sourcing from jobbers but has since graduated to obtaining its deadstock materials directly from the fabric mills themselves.

The brand has now cultivated relationships with OEKO-TEX® certified fabric mills that offer them leftover fabrics with impressive sustainable certifications. 

OhSevenDays also sells a range of ‘Zero Waste Misfits’ that bear the markings of faulty deadstock fabrics like a missable stain, scratch or mark that are sold at a slightly discounted price — for the brand believes that even their minor faulted items deserve a home.

Price: $$-$$$

Deadstock materials: Cotton, TENCEL, Linen and Rayon
