zero waste daniel pieces are made using pre-consumer cutting room scraps, design room waste, deadstock, and other materials that already exist. instead of starting with new fabric, we design around available materials to create one-of-a-kind and small-batch pieces.

pre-consumer textile waste is material left over during the clothing production process before a finished product reaches a customer. this can include cutting room scraps, fabric remnants, sample yardage, and other materials that might otherwise be discarded.

our materials come from a variety of sources, including new york city’s garment industry, designers, manufacturers, brands, and long-term material partners. because we work with existing materials, the fabrics, colors, and quantities available are constantly changing.

most of our work is made from pre-consumer textile waste and other unused materials rather than previously worn clothing. certain clearly listed collections, collaborations, and special projects may incorporate reclaimed garments or other existing products.

textile waste comes in every shape and size. while some materials arrive as small cutting room scraps, others are larger remnants, unused yardage, or leftover materials from production. our designs make use of the materials available to us while creating pieces that are functional, durable, and thoughtfully designed.

because we work with constantly changing materials, no two pieces are exactly alike. your piece will follow the same overall design, color story, and aesthetic shown in the product photos, but the exact placement, fabrics, and details may vary. these differences are part of what makes each zero waste daniel piece unique.

our pieces are designed and made in new york city. we work with our in-house team and local production partners to create our collections, custom pieces, and special projects.

check the sizing information provided on each product page before ordering. because our designs and silhouettes vary, we recommend using the measurements and fit information listed for the individual piece. if you are unsure which size to choose, contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
