What to know about 1XBLUE

Old football kit becomes clothing

Collections are cut from repurposed textiles, including reworked football scarves and goalkeeper gloves, so pieces arrive as limited drops rather than repeatable staples.

Womenswear, body-conscious, 90s-referencing

The core silhouettes are fitted jumpsuits and dresses with asymmetric cutouts, button detailing and graphic prints drawn from 1990s film nostalgia.

Depop upcycler now at SSENSE

Lois Saunders started selling one-off upcycled pieces on Depop while at Manchester School of Art in 2020; the London label now wholesales to SSENSE and Complex Shop.
