For Nitya Unju Park and Tosca Wyss, upcycling is a necessity, not just an image. They are inspired by what already exists and has become worthless to others. This is how they came to collaborate with Rrrevolve and Nudie Jeans. 

Nudie Jeans offers a lifetime repair guarantee on its jeans, but some of the trousers really cannot be salvaged or have never been sold due to a production error. These became the raw material for the collaboration with the Swiss fair fashion retailer Rrrevolve. The designers carefully sorted, cleaned and rearranged 650 pairs of jeans and gave them a new lease of life as unisex patchwork children’s dresses in various shades. 

Their production always takes place in close cooperation with a Berlin sewing studio, which ensures short, CO2-saving delivery routes and is therefore time and cost efficient. Together, they want to secure the tailoring trade and local jobs and show that upcycling as an innovative method has the potential to change the textile industry.
