Refusing to adhere to fast fashion trends, these brands with their reversible and convertible designs for clothes, bags and home accessories are going the economical yet fashionable way

Founded by fashion designer Niti Singhal, Twee In One ensures that its clothes have a 360-degree transformation. Singhal, like many, found herself complaining about not having enough clothes and realised she couldn’t go to a party in her office wear. Her startup thus provides two types of solutions—reversible and convertible clothing. While in the former, the garment needs to be removed and completely reversed, in the latter, one can, for instance, convert a dress into a jumpsuit. Singhal has made sure that each piece of clothing has two completely different looks both in colour and pattern, and has recently launched a children’s reversible and convertible clothing line with plans to start something similar for men soon.
