Peder Cho is a designer based in Los Angeles who is turning designer bags into shoes, bikinis and more.
The designer says upcycling and sustainability are why he began making things in the first place. “I started to create upcycled NBA pieces for myself, and I wasn’t able to duplicate them at the time,” says Cho. “This inadvertently forced my ‘business model’ of reworking the customers’ items.” And given he loves pulling off the unexpected, he says he’s never short on ideas for future projects. “Every day I’m making something new for someone,” he says.
I sew every day for about 10 to 12 hours, creating custom pieces for clients or building collections with other brands—so the content is there. I film everything now. A lot of my custom clientele comes from Instagram, so they see my work and say, “I want that, but my way.”My older brother was running his own company at the time. I was seeing his daily life and just wanted that so bad: The freedom to do what you want on your own time.
