The kimono is the OG zero waste garment. One bolt of fabric. Minimum cuts. No waste.
Drawing from the original kimono concept, SXDโs first prototypes were built to unleash the power of this beautifully pure idea.


Brilliant minds and technology combined to propel the time-tested philosophy into the now and the future…


An outburst of audacious ideas ensued, giving life to inspired ingredients that have coalesced to form new shapes, new visual languages, and new possibilities.


What remains is an unwavering commitment to generate zero waste and to do right by our planet’s resources.


Our work is the product of looking behind us, inside of us, and ultimately beyond us, to create something that feels familiar yet avant-garde, comforting yet daring, and uncompromisingly sustainable.

Weโve been working on some really amazing collaborations. SO excited to share this one that just launched: SXD X @harvardinnovationlabs ๐คฉ. This is a reversible laptop sleeve / bag that is (of course) zero waste. The white material incorporates leftover fabrics from scuba diving sets and the red material incorporates red shorts from the summer. The Harvard โHโ branding is created using the two fabric colors. We also used a technology called ecorepel to make the product waterproof through biomimicry rather than harmful chemicals. More to come ๐ฅณ Big thanks to @yankodesign for covering this product design and to @harvardinnovationlabs / @adrian_gill for making this possible๐ (Photographer: @oscarealvarez Model: @youngkimchi)
