About Only 1

Only 1. is a women’s fashion brand built on the belief that what already exists still has value. Each garment is upcycled from thrifted materials and designed to be made once—and only once.

The brand was inspired by a life-changing experience in Ecuador, where our founder witnessed children searching through garbage for items they could resell. That moment reshaped how waste, reuse, and responsibility were understood, and sparked a commitment to creating fashion with intention.

At Only 1., sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s the foundation. Every piece tells a story of second chances, thoughtful design, and style that refuses to be wasted.
