MEET YOUR HOSTS:
MAKÜ UK is a business based on making use of mass production discards. Their aim from the start has been to 'make use not waste' and encourage others to do the same. MAKU designed the workspace in Hastings, aka the DEPO, so it can also be used by others interested in wasting less. To date, they have hosted many events including pop-up sales, sewing groups and art classes – all with sustainability at their core. This is their third year as a Sustainable Fashion Week Hub!
