Ida upcycled denim waistcoat

The Ida is a fitted waistcoat with a textured, dimensional surface — achieved by working with upcycled denim in varying weights and finishes and combining them into a single constructed piece. An adjustable belt at the back allows the fit to be tailored precisely to the body. More structured than the Francis, the Ida reads as outerwear in its own right — something between a waistcoat and a fitted jacket shell.

Sustainability
Each piece is reconstructed from upcycled denim — factory deadstock, defective rolls, or post-consumer fabric — diverting material that would otherwise go to landfill. Because the raw material varies with every batch, no two garments are identical. Minor differences in panel shade, placement, or texture are not flaws — they are the signature of the process. This is a limited-edition style: once the available fabric runs out, it is not reproduced.

About Doodlage
Doodlage is a Delhi-based zero-waste label that upcycles factory offcuts, deadstock, and post-consumer textiles into contemporary clothing. Every piece is made at a fair-wage, small-scale atelier — minimising waste at every step from the cutting table to the finished garment. Doodlage was founded on the belief that fashion can be radical without being wasteful.

Delivery
Each piece is thoughtfully prepared and shipped with care. Please allow 10–15 working days for delivery. As these are made from limited raw material, we recommend securing your size early.
