The project in brief

"We want to offer a job opportunity and social emancipation to disadvantaged people". "Quid" project stems from the will and commitment to bring about the reintegration of disadvantaged workers into the community, involving them in ethical-sustainable manufacturing activities. The idea is to “up-cycle” clothing items through artisanal tailoring changes. "With our project," says Anna, president of the cooperative, "we want to offer a job opportunity and social emancipation to disadvantaged people; to create an innovative, sustainable, unique and highly creative product. The name "Quid" means that something extra that allows us to add value to our product. Our aspiration is also confirmed by the logo we have chosen, the clothespin, an object that unites, just as we want to unite social, environmental and market aspects».
