Rachel Faller’s clothing manufacturing company Tonlé succeeds on scraps and she says other businesses can do it too.

Rachel Faller, founder of Tonlé designs, hopes to provide an alternative to fast fashion by exhibiting her Cambodia-based fashion brand as an example of eco-friendly, human-centred manufacturing.

Boasting a zero-waste design process, Tonlé’s designers work alongside a production team to produce collections that incorporate even the smallest discarded scraps of waste material. This is sourced from the cut-offs discarded by larger manufacturers.

“Like a chef sourcing local fruits and vegetables for a seasonal meal, our design team can often be found combing through literal tons of fabric cast aside by large manufacturers to find the highest quality remnant fabrics,” reads the company’s website.

The company goes a step further by supporting local suppliers with a similar ethos. “This includes buttons made from locally sourced clay, belt buckles carved from re-claimed scrap wood, and fabrics woven from remnant threads,” says the company.
