From Landfill to Life: Our Journey in Sustainability

At Heke Design, every piece of fabric we use has a story. What was once destined for the landfill is transformed into something new, vibrant, and meaningful.

We’ve saved over 2 tons of textile waste by partnering with local shops and the Waiheke community, turning discarded materials into one-of-a-kind fashion statements.

Our commitment to upcycling makes a difference—not just in what we wear, but in how we care for our planet.

Upcycled GEM!

“Really liking my new pants, well made. It’s so sad it’s a million degrees in Texas so I won’t get to wear them out and about for months! Really great to find a bit of a larger size in upcycled clothes as I have found that really challenging with other vendors.”

- Amanda S.
