A jump start into fashion
Baabaazuzu is an Eco-fashion house in northern Michigan, USA. They use 100% upcycled materials and are the originators of the recycled sweater mittens. Baabaazuzu's co-founder, lead designer and CEO is Sue Burns.
Baabaazuzu's up-cycled garment line started in 1993 after a laundry accident where Sue Burns' husband mistakenly put her favourite wool jumpers into the dryer. Sue dismantled the sweaters and transformed them into her now international brand by cutting up the shrunken remains of her favourite jumpers, piecing the fragments together and making jackets with matching hats.
The high demand for her up-cycled creations encouraged Sue to develop an eco-fashion house. After a short while, Sue changed from children's wear to women's fashion. During the last few years, Baabaazuzu has also included designs for men, including up-cycled accessories such as hats, mittens, fingerless gloves, slippers, scarves and messenger bags.
Baabaazuzu's creations are one-of-a-kind and handcrafted from 100% vintage up-cycled wool. They are a perfect merge of fashion and function.
