Why We Produce in Limited Quantities
We’re living in the midst of a climate crisis.
And one of the biggest problems we face is the system that helped create it: fast fashion.
A System That Feeds Itself
Fast fashion didn’t just appear—it evolved.
In the early 2000s, major brands began replicating designer pieces at low costs and high speed.
Production became faster. Shopping became easier. And consumption became constant.
For the first time in history, clothing became disposable.
Unlike garments from past decades—made to last, even passed down between generations—fast fashion produces pieces that are designed to be worn a few times, then discarded.
The Environmental Cost
Fast fashion thrives on volume: low cost, high turnover.
But that affordability comes at a hidden price.
The production process uses enormous amounts of water and chemicals.
Toxic dyes pollute waterways.
Synthetic fabrics take hundreds of years to break down.
And low-quality materials create waste that grows by the second.
All to keep up with ever-changing trends.
An Alternative: Slow Fashion
We believe fashion can—and should—do better.
That’s why we make fewer pieces, more slowly, and more intentionally.
At İKİKIZ, we embrace slow production as a commitment to the planet and to the people who wear our clothes.
Limited quantities mean we produce only what’s needed.
It also means we can prioritize quality, work closely with artisans, and reduce waste at every step.
Thoughtful Consumption Starts with Awareness
Change begins by recognizing the cost of overconsumption.
It means choosing fewer, better things.
It means supporting brands that value ethics and sustainability over speed and scale.
It means rethinking how we wear, reuse, and care for what we already own.
Where We Stand
İKİKIZ was built on the promise of responsibility—to nature, to people, and to the future.
That’s why we produce slowly, in small batches.
We choose natural fabrics, mindful techniques, and timeless silhouettes.
Because we believe that real style doesn’t rush.
And because we know that fashion—done thoughtfully—can still feel just as beautiful.
