WE SHAPE THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET NOW

OUR WOOL - 100% RECYCLED JUMPERS

FORTEX

Fortex began in 1963 in Prato, Italy, to utilise the tradition of rug-recycling within
the Italian Fashion Industry. Ahead of their time, the company began by producing textiles with recycled materials such as sweaters. Still striving for change today, Fortex is committed to achieving complete sustainability and traceability within their production systems.

OUR RAINWEAR - recycled plastic bottles

SYMPATEX®

Sympatex® is the sustainable approach to a highly functional yet fully recyclable membrane that is fully waterproof, windproof, breathable and durable and
mostly made from recycled PETE bottles. Since, 1986
they have been a benchmark for the sport, outdoor and workwear textile industries. Known as pioneers for circular processes, Sympatex® combine high product performance with uncompromising responsibility, with a goal of being 100% circular by 2030.

OUR COTTON - 100% Organic Regenerative Cotton

EGEDENIZ

Starting in the early 1900s, Egedeniz have been organic farming for 100 years and have been the first organic certified textile company in Türkiye since 1993. All of their operations take place in the Aegean region, supporting their local community. The business is rooted in agriculture, with a focus on organic cotton and now also, regenerative farming; a method which nurtures and restores soil health through processes such as rotating and covering crops, mulching and not tilling the soil.

OUR BUTTONS, TOGGLES AND CORD ENDS - 100% Recycled Milk Bottles and COFFEE CUP LIDS

MALA SIAMPTANI

London-based designer, maker, lecturer and researcher Mala Siamptani develops and hand makes our fastenings from plastic waste donated by local cafés.

OUR ABACá - 100% Regenerative Abacá (banana plant)

BANANATEX®

Bananatex® is the world’s first durable, biodegradable and plastic-free fabric made purely from regeneratively grown Abacá banana plants. Cultivated in a permaculture environment in the Philippine mid- and highlands within a natural ecosystem of sustainable mixed agriculture and forestry, the plant is sturdy and self-sufficient, requiring no pesticides, fertilizer or extra water.
These qualities have allowed it to contribute to reforestation in areas of former rainforest that were once cleared for logging, whilst enhancing biodiversity and the economic prosperity of local farmers.

OUR POLYAMIDE - 100% Recycled Polyamide Fabric Scraps

BALAS

Balas is a union of two families in Saint-Romain-de-Popey, France, that began in 2001. With protection as their focus, the company is renowned for their leading production of technical fabrics, even engineering fabrics for the French Air Force. They produce military-grade protection and fully waterproof fabrics.

OUR PADDINGS - 60% Recycled Silk Fabric Scraps/40% Renewable Plant-Based PLA AND 100% Recycled Polyester Fabric Scraps

IMBOTEX

Imbotex was founded in 1955, in Cittadella, Italy, and is considered a leader in the production of natural, technological and recycled materials. From the outset, the female-lead business used the ancestral method of recycling textile scraps, called Millefiori. They began creating fillings for mattresses with these scraps from local textile companies, but now also engineer paddings for clothing.

100% Circular

The Circular Economy is based on 3 principles

1. DESIGN OUT OF WASTE & POLLUTION: RE-PETE is 100% made from locally sourced waste.

2. KEEP PRODUCT & MATERIALS IN PERPETUAL USE: Our take back system and minimalist mono-material design simplifies recycling allowing every piece to be easily broken down and remade so it never ends up in landfill.

3. ALLOW THE EARTHS NATURAL ECO SYSTEMS TO REGENERATE: By moving from a take-make-waste linear system to circular, we support natural processes and leave more room for nature to thrive.
