Who is Korn?
Korn Upcycled is founded by Kornelija, aka “Korn.” While living in Chile, Korn saw the overwhelming amount of new and used clothing being sent to landfills. It changed the way she thought about fashion and consumption, and inspired her to do something about it.
An artist all her life, Korn began teaching herself how to transform second hand clothing into something new. What started as experimenting with paint, embroidery, stamps, and different ways of reworking clothes grew into Korn Upcycled- a way to give unwanted textiles a second life.
what we do
-
Circularity
We see potential in what others see as waste. Every hole, stain, or forgotten design can be reimagined through art. We don’t need to keep buying more, what we already have is enough. We just need to see it differently.
-
Customization
