Crafted Exclusively for
UBS’ Greater China Conference
UBS’ Greater China Conference
Hello and nice to meet you! I’m a small folio making a big difference. Once I was discarded textile waste. Now I’ve been put back to work thanks to the The R Collective social impact business that rescues, reuses and recycles luxury fashion waste.
My rescue and reuse journey to you
I am made from rescued canvas waste and leather waste from global luxury fashion brands through collaboration, craftsmanship and circularity principles.
From considered design, sourcing, production and use phase,
I’m living proof that the future of circular fashion is being crafted now.
I’m customisable - so you’ll love me longer
I am designed with a customisable leather tag for stamping your initials to enable personalisation and longevity, so you’ll want to love me for longer.
How I’m good for the environment
By rescuing and reusing textile waste, I’m reducing fashion’s negative environmental impacts, like textile waste, carbon emissions and water use that results from producing virgin materials.
My folio collaboration with UBS rescued approximately 200 yards of textile waste and 200 square feet of leather waste.
My entire waste rescue and production was done within Southern China to reduce carbon emissions from transportation.
I may be making a small dent in textile waste. More importantly, I am crafting new circular supply chains to reduce reliance on virgin material production and the depletion of natural resources.
How to care for me
I am crafted with responsible use and care in mind. I am attached with a QR code so you can learn more about my journey, from waste rescue to how to care for me, so I can be kept in use in the best conditions for as long as possible.
