About the NKN Atelier
Upcycling at NKN Atelier (Hamburg) is not “repair” — it is an artistic transformation of garments from your wardrobe. We analyse fabric and construction, propose a new silhouette and function, and preserve what is valuable in the original piece. The result is a contemporary garment with a new story, made with professional finishing. Suitable for coats, blazers, dresses, shirts and more.
