De Wasserij

De Wasserij is a hub where innovative fashion professionals meet, collaborate, and exchange knowledge. The building, a former industrial laundry in Rotterdam, offers studios to about 50 movers & shakers in the fashion industry. In De Wasserij, they can make use of a fully-equipped creative lab, geared to fashion and textiles. The facilities are also accessible for fashion professionals who are bsed elsewhere. In addition, De Wasserij offers space for exhibitions and pop-ups, as well as an activities programme. The residents of De Wasserij share a common interest: they want to contribute to a better future for fashion. For example, by using local sources and production facilities, and by working with circular and sustainable materials. Or by focusing on slow fashion, timeless style, and high quality: clothes that you buy to love and keep for a long time. Furthermore, our residents believe in the power of collaboration. They want to contribute to a healthy ecosystem in the city and in the region. De Wasserij is a joint initiative by SKAR, STIPO, Stad2, and Vanschagen Architecten.
