The V.A.M.O.S (Verge Advanced Modular Optimisation System) is the core of our program for change and the key initiative for the adoption of sustainable routines and practices in new product development and production.

Stemming from our own experience as makers, we became first-hand witnesses of the broken, immoral capitalist-endorsed relationship between industry and market and have decided to do something about it.

The important keywords to take away are: Standard and Timeless. Upcycle and Recycle. Repair and Reuse. No Over Production.

We are grateful for the chance we have to contribute to change, doing the stuff we love, in our very own community, with the makers we have known for years and can call friends. All our materials are sourced with supply chain traceability, most of them available in a 5 km radius. All our materials are hand picked and upcycled from existing stocks in these very same factories we are making the product, chasing the arcadia of circularity.

We make products through optimistic eyes, not trying to reinvent products every season which will entail needless design, sampling and selling efforts. Putting out garbage for the sake of newness, to generate newsletters and worthless social media. To desperately pay mounting bills at the expense of exploited staff and interns.

Returns will be repaired, resold or donated. Our products will have little marketing material, no hand tags, no exaggerated labels, we don't use what we don't need. Consumerism is an environmental disaster and a spiritual void. Do not stress about it. Do something about it.
