INCUBATOR PROGRAMME
The Things Matter Incubator Programme is designed to support emerging sustainable designers by providing them with the tools, materials, and platform they need to grow. We understand that starting out as a designer—especially one committed to sustainability—can be financially and creatively challenging. That’s why our incubator removes barriers and builds real opportunity.
​
Each cycle, we select a group of designers who demonstrate a commitment to circular fashion and innovation. As part of the programme, designers receive:
-
Free access to donated materials and surplus stock
-
Mentorship and support in areas such as upcycling techniques, business development, and branding
-
Opportunities to lead workshops and engage with the community
-
The chance to sell their work in our appointment-only showroom and at special events
-
Promotion across our social media platforms and visibility within the growing sustainable fashion network
This programme isn’t just about showcasing work—it’s about creating a pathway for designers to develop a sustainable practice, build community, and gain exposure without compromising their values. By supporting the next generation of changemakers, we're helping to shape a more inclusive, resourceful, and circular fashion future.
