WHO I AM

Hi, I'm Karen — a Colombian designer who lived in Spain for over 20 years before moving to the Netherlands in 2023.

I trained as a pattern-making and fashion technician in Madrid, where I became deeply aware of the devastating impact the textile industry has on our planet.

From that moment, I chose a different path — giving life to my own sustainable and artisanal fashion project, crafted entirely from my atelier here in Enschede.

Our Philosophy

Radical Reuse

Radical Reuse

We source exclusively from denim archives, giving forgotten fabric a bold new life — significantly reducing your wardrobe's carbon footprint.

Craftsmanship

Atelier Craftsmanship

Every stitch is intentional. Each object is hand-finished in our Enschede studio, celebrating the raw, imperfect beauty that only human hands create.

Durable Utility

Durable Utility

Upcycled doesn't mean fragile. We construct objects to withstand the pace of modern life — circular fashion that is built to last.

Slow Fashion

Slow Fashion

We release collections slowly and intentionally — because mass production is never the answer. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind statement.

Our Mission

"Authenticity is found in the imperfect."

Based in our Enschede atelier, NERAKCOS is built on the belief that authenticity is found in the imperfect. Our mission is to foster a new generation of upcycling, where slow, intentional craftsmanship replaces mass production. Every design object we release is a one-of-a-kind statement — individually hand-finished to ensure that your style is as unique as the circular journey of the fabric itself.
