Inventi Studio is an upcycling label run under arcenciel, the Lebanese non-profit, and every dollar of profit goes back into arcenciel's programmes for marginalised communities. The studio takes discarded textiles and deadstock fabric and reworks them with women artisans into new pieces. Bags make up most of the line: EveryTote and Nomad's totes, ReJean bags and pouches cut from old denim, velvet clutches and patterned handbags, plus laptop cases and makeup pouches. There is also a small clothing range of cropped blazers, a blazer dress and cropped shirts, and accessories such as tweed heart earrings and scrunchies. Co-founder and creative director Feyrouz Hatoum is a fashion designer with years of experience in the humanitarian sector, and she also leads business development for La Boutique Sociale, arcenciel's second-hand clothing project.
