The Circle Rooms is a project in Richmond upon Thames and the surrounding areas to work on a future retail based on 2nd use items, repair, locality hire and collaboration. At the moment we work remote with pop up events, sustainability talks, Repair workshops and Swapping/Hiring of garments.
Bringing together four power house women in fashion & sustainability from the local area. Ghislaine Walker, Alicia Lai, Riikka Olli & Rachel Sheila Kan.

The Circle Rooms
Our Retail side will be Showcasing brands that use reclaimed textiles, such as Belo bags, Love Big Coats, Yago Eco and Moda en Verde. Using textiles that would otherwise have gone to landfill or incineration.. creating a 2nd use opportunity. We will showcase Upcycling designers and those that utilise textiles as re-use .. If you are a brand and would like to showcase with us drop us a line here or set a virtual coffee
Brands showcased here all part of The Ecosystem Incubator
Over time The Circle Rooms plans to find a location and create a space for future retail, co-working spaces and studios, Hiring and repair that supports the locality as apposed to a centralised location. So much more in our minds, we build in an agile way based on the wants and needs of the area- so we would love to hear from you.
We would love to hear from anyone locally about any space that we could use to house and grow our work, any funding opportunities from the locality and we would love your support as citizens of Richmond and the surrounding areas.
If you are a maker and need a studio space, if you are a brand or simply a local growing eco business needing a space to work.. drop us a line here – we would love to hear from you on your needs as a business.

The Circle Rooms - The Future
The Circle RoomsThe Circle Rooms is co-created by the collaborators inside The Ecosystem Incubator
In the Incubator many micro fashion players in the sustainable/ circular or regenerative space come together to create and co-create collaborative advantage. As one larger team we can create larger change and thriveabity for the whole. The Ecosystem is a whole new way of working that brings people together who would other wise have worked apart and in competition. Creating a strategic alliance very much helps with reach as micro businesses.
Inside the Incubator we work with people from seed right through to store and then back again in a real co-created Circular system.
