Born in 2017, FATRA is a pioneering company in creative waste management, dedicated to transforming the fashion industry's approach to design, production, and consumption. 

 

Founded by Akilah Stewart, FATRA is used as a tool for social and environmental activism in the fashion industry. We offer a diverse range of services, including product development, consulting, educational programming, and fashion, interior, and set design.

 At FATRA, we reuse what has always been there, ancestral knowledge, materials, and wisdom. 

FATRA’s journey begins with the wisdom passed down to Akilah Stewart by her two grandmothers—both skilled, resourceful women who believed that if something wasn’t readily available, you could make it yourself. 

At FATRA, we reuse what has always been there:ancestral knowledge, materials, and wisdom. Just as the skills passed down from elders shape our future, so too should the practice of reusing and repurposing materials. 

By blending generational knowledge with contemporary innovation, FATRA creates luxury from waste, proving that from nothing, you can build something lasting.
