I would like to sell something on your store.
At this moment, we are not in collaborating with any new brands or other designers to sell on the Project Eden Store. If you are interested in collaborating, please contact us projectedenhk@gmail.com.
Why are the products so limited?
All items are handmade in very limited quantities, most pieces take around 10 hours to be made. The materials for each garment and accessory is limited, to prevent large amounts of waste. All products are handmade in Hong Kong by the Project Eden founder.
When will a product come back in stock?
Because of a limited about of material, and that the products are made by the Project Eden founder in Hong Kong, the products are made in limited quantities. Once a material is used up, it most likely won’t be purchased again. Every piece is unique and a limited edition, so once it is out of stock, it likely won’t come back.
If you do have any personal inquiries please contact us, and we will put you in-contact with the designer.
Why are your product so expensive?
All materials and final products are at least 90% sustainable. You may notice that none of the products have zippers, and instead-use zipper alternatives for all garments. All products are environmentally sustainable, and hand made in limited quantities. All profits go back into the company, in order to keep the site running, and buy more materials to make new products.
Where are your products in your store from?
All products are handmade by the Project Eden founder.

She creates all the products by hand, and finds all her biodegradable or eco-conscious materials herself.
