Serigne Mbackè Lô

Senegal (FR)

I come from Thiaroye in Senegal. Since I was 10 years old, I went to a sewing school. After two training courses in women's and men's cutting and sewing, I became a stylist. I also recycle old clothes to give them a second life. Currently I have opened my own workshop in the cultural complex of Pikine. I work with recycled fabrics, rice bags and scraps of fabric. I create clothes, so trousers, dresses, jackets, and bags.

„Upcycling is an important pillar in establishing a circular economy. In the Global South in particular, it contributes to the preservation of traditional handicrafts, to an increase in the quality of life and creates prospects for young people.“
