Ethical Production

Bubble Stitch accessories are carefully produced following sustainable ethical standards.

We prioritize production in small quantities to guarantee quality and avoid waste.
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in every step of the process, from material selection to manufacturing practices.

By limiting production to actual demand, we minimize our environmental impact and ensure that each piece is unique and made with maximum attention to detail.

Our goal is not only to offer exceptional products but also to contribute to conscious and responsible consumption.

Upcycling

Upcycling at Bubbe Stitch is more than a practice, it's a passion.

We give new life to forgotten materials, transforming leftover fabric from other creations and recycled cotton threads into incredible accessories.

Each piece tells a unique story, a narrative of renewal and reinvention.

The upcycling process is not just about sustainability, but also about celebrating originality.

Each accessory is its own work of art, carrying with it not only the history of the materials that make it up but also the artisanal touch and creative vision that make each piece truly unique.

It's our way of transforming the ordinary into extraordinary, demonstrating that fashion can be a positive force in the world, one recycled item at a time.

Our story

Bubble Stitch was born from my desire to rethink how we relate to fashion.

I wanted to create something different, something that would be part of our daily lives in an easy and special way.

This is how our accessories were created, designed to be practical, durable and totally unique.

The magic of Bubble Stitch is transforming materials that are often forgotten into something incredible. We use recycled cotton threads and fabrics chosen with great care.

Each piece is a small universe of sustainability and creativity.

Bubble Stich is not about fashion, it's about making meaningful choices.

It's about telling an environmentally conscious story without compromising on style.

Each piece is unique, like each one of us.

Join us on this fashion journey with purpose and lots of charm.
