Unchain your talent

Join wear | us and make beautiful clothes for everyone.

three-hour workdays

Half-hour to prepare and check what’s on the to-do list, three hours of solid work, and a half hour to decompress. That makes half of your day, so you can spend the rest doing other things you love to do. For us, that’s how much life we should dedicate to work.

a decent compensation

We pay per item, and we design each item so that it’s elegant, healthy and practical, but also easy to make. How much you make depends on how good you are: you receive 40% of the final price of the item. For example, when you produce an item for sale at 400EUR you receive 160EUR.

buy a kit

Start by booking an onboarding session and buy a kit of the item you want to produce. You can choose any item except the neckgaiter.

make

Make your item following the instructions. You can work from home or, if you live in Brussels, you can come make it with us.

take pictures

When your item is ready, take pictures of the same details that you see on the product page on our website.

cash

You send your photos and if the level of quality is met congratulations, you are on-board! We will now take orders from people in your area.

Frequent questions

Do you only accept professional, experienced clothesmakers?

At the moment we are expanding our network, and we only accept makers with professional experience in tailoring and clothesmaking.

How much can I make per hour?

The hourly compensation depends on the amount of items you are able to produce. The better you are at sewing, the more you earn: we pay to you 40% of the sales price.

I love making clothes! Can I work for six hours?

If you are working in one of our location, we only have half-day sessions with three hours of intense work. The time limit is a principle we set to ensure that nobody gets stuck into making. Of course you can use the extra time to do whatever you like, including making clothes using available machines. However, you will not be working for wear | us: we encourage you to advance your own personal, professional, artistic or research projects.

Can I use the machines for my own work, outside of a working session?

If the machines are free, you can use them but you must leave them immediately if a crew needs them.

Can I keep the items I make?

When you buy a makers kit, you can keep the items you make.

Can I resell the items I make?

When you buy a makers’ kit, the items you make are yours. You can give them as a gift, or resell them, or turn them into compost and feed a plant.

I am a maker. Can I buy items from another maker?

You can, if they sell them to you. Once a maker delivers her/his items to wear | us, we only sell them at discount or retail prices.

I learned how to make clothes, I have all your patterns. Why should I work for wear | us?

You don’t have to, you can work for yourself.

I got together with a group of makers, we will set up an alternative centre.

You are not only free but encouraged to open an alternative centre with friends and neighbours. You can do it on your own, or you can ask for help, we’ll be more than happy to support you. Yes, also (and especially) if you have already been part of one of our crews and you have your own reason to create your own spin-off.
