Tocar la fibra, the charity flea market of the fashion firm Kaotiko and UDIT

UDIT, University of Design, Innovation and Technology and the fashion firm Kaotiko are once again jointly organising the charitable event Tocar la fibra (Touching the fibre).

On this occasion, the event was held last Thursday 3rd April at the Campus of Design and Creative Industries (building C/ Alfonso XIII, 97) of the University and, for it, Kaotiko donated around a hundred of garments with defects that will be transformed by the students of UDIT with the aim of giving them a new life.

At the end of the day, the students' creations were put on sale in a charity market and the proceeds from the sale of the garments were donated to the Fundació Horta Sud, which is currently working in the areas affected by last October's hurricane.
