At 1C1Y, we believe that fashion has the power to change lives. That's why, with each item sold, we support children's creative education initiatives by ARTHELPS. We believe that creativity is the key to unlocking a brighter future, and we are proud to be part of a movement that is making a difference.

We are passionate about slow fashion and ultimately sustainable fashion, and we are committed to using fashion as a force for good. We want create investment pieces and fashion staples are not just stylish - they are also produced environmentally conscious and socially responsible. We choose innovative, sustainable materials and carefully select manufacturers with high standards for human and environmental working conditions because we believe that fashion should be sustainable in every sense of the word.

Social Fashion changes you

At the heart of our design is a belief in quiet luxury and timeless fashion. We design pieces built to last, focussing on quality craftsmanship and classic styles that will easily not go out of fashion. We want you to shine in your clothes, not the other way around and when you wear 1C1Y, you are not just wearing a piece of clothing - you are wearing hope, dreams, and potential. Knowing this changes your demeanour - Social Fashion changes you.

Every time you purchase an item from 1C1Y, you are supporting children's creative education. You are giving a child the opportunity to express themselves, to discover their passions, and to unlock their full potential. You are part of a movement that believes in the power of creativity to change lives, and we couldn't be more proud to have you as a part of it. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards a brighter future for all.
