But at night they change into a designers. 5 dressmakers works to earn additional profit. And they donates this profit to NGO organization for other activities.

They produces in hong kong, because they think it will give a positive influence and they do these work because they feel the commitment to the environment. At the actual beginning there first piece was a convertible chair, but they noticed that the Hong Kong's state wasn't good enough to keep on going the handmade recycled furniture business.
