I was crafted in China by award-winning social impact business, The R Collective, using reclaimed excess materials from luxury fashion brands, including top quality nylon fabric leftover from other luxury brands’ production.

My small leather pull tab, which is customisable onsite at the Greater China Conference 2026, represents a big leap for collaborative industry solutions to reduce luxury fashion brands’ unsold and highly IP sensitive stock. Here’s how: 

My breakthrough collaborative disassembly and redesign solution proves viable reuse opportunities for highly sensitive materials, which traditionally could potentially face incineration due to their distinctive logos, prints and marks. 

I’m only making a small dent in fashion’s waste. An estimated 92 million tons of textile waste are created annually from the fashion industry.¹

I’m designed for heavy use, from trainers to travel needs, so fill me up as you wish. Please occasionally be prepared to care for me too!

I’m the latest example of our collaborative projects, marking another successful responsible product launch that now stretches from China, Singapore, Switzerland, UK to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and beyond.

We have rescued a wide range of waste materials, from aviation excess, luxury leather and canvas waste, discarded car airbags, tent canvas, tuk-tuk canopy waste and more. 

The R Collective is a social-impact business recirculating fashion’s high value excess materials by reclaiming, reusing, and recycling waste to deliver responsible products and recycling solutions for global businesses.

Through our system, we have reclaimed 123 tons of fashion waste including textiles, garments, leather, leather goods and trims to date.

We have a long way to go to reduce fashion’s waste. We invite you to join us at LinkedIn as we build a collaborative circular system.
