Our Story
Flo is a social cooperative that through its work & research into the fashion sector has been promoting a new model of the fashion business since 2010. The objective is to provide an environment that helps the socially, physically or mentally vulnerable to find new faith & working autonomy.
Our clothing & accessories collections are the fruit of an unprecedented inclusive & welcoming ecosystem where diversity is the driving force.
Each one of our creations is an expression of the Flo concept: give new life to surplus fabric or scraps coming from some of the best Italian textile manufacturers. Emphasis is on natural & eco-sustainable fibers to create limited edition garments tailored by people that through training and work placements can acquire the new skills necessary to face the employment market.
We tailor your experience.
The tailoring Lab is in Via Cimabue, just outside the historical city center of Florence. It opened in 2016, first so the project could come full circle by adding the production process, but more importantly to increase the numbers already working with the store. The 275m2 Laboratory manufactures the Flo brand Woman’s & Children’s Clothing & Accessories Collections. Space is set-aside in the same area for collaboration with other companies, associations or institutions with an active interest in socially sustainable projects. Flo can design, produce or tailor items for the ones who wish to collaborate and thus become a trusted ethical partner.
