La Réunion

Sarah Nsikak, a Nigerian-American living in Brooklyn created La Réunion, inspired by the waste created by the fashion industry. These hand quilted pieces are made using exclusively recycled material sourced from designers based in New York. Special textiles are also sourced through vintage stores and estate sales.

La Réunion is named after the island off the coast of Madagascar. The many influences for this project include the vibrant stories of African culture, post colonial African countries, ideas surrounding reclaimed beauty, togetherness, color, joy, and inviting ones self back to what was always there all along. It is materializing an idea of sacred and unabashed individuality. Everyone is invited.
