THE R COLLECTIVE

RESCUE. REUSE. REIMAGINE

The R Collective believes in minimising waste by challenging the way fashion is made.

By creating sustainable fashion using rescued textile waste sourced from the world’s leading luxury fashion brands and reputable mills and manufacturers, The R Collective reuses these materials through upcycling, reimagining the destiny of textile waste with timeless designs.

A social impact upcycled fashion brand, The R Collective’s mission to create beautiful clothes using waste materials was born from Redress, the pioneering Hong Kong based charity working since 2007 to reduce waste in fashion.

Conceived by Redress’ Founder, Christina Dean, the team of highly seasoned and dedicated fashion professionals work with a collective goal to create the world’s best sustainable fashion brand that reduces waste and pollution, empowers consumers, and raises funds for charity Redress.

With their heart set on reducing the estimated 92 million tons of industry textile waste that is created annually, The R Collective boldly pairs creativity, courage and conviction to divert waste from landfill and incineration and into wardrobes. Using innovative techniques and sustainable designer collaborations, The R Collective is a catalyst for the circular fashion revolution.
