Our Process
We like to think of ourselves as the textile waste rescue-team. We collect these textiles from Rotterdam’s vintage shops, second-hand stores, and private donations, to then handcraft them into our cool and affordable everyday accessories. This is how our system works:
1. COLLECT
Reshirt Rotterdam collects leftover textiles from shops around the city. These are unwanted materials that have been sitting in storage spaces for years, not being sold due to being damaged or out of season. In order to save them from landfills or incinerators, we pick them up and give them a new life.
2. SORT
After being picked up, we sort the materials and make sure that 100% of them will be used in our future products. In this stage, we decide which fabric materials, depending on the texture and quality, can be transformed into our current products, or be experimented with to design a new creation.
3. CREATE
Now it's time to roll up our sleeves and get the sewing machines going. We sew and weave these fabrics into upcycled products such as earrings, scrunchies, hair scarves, face masks and tote bags. Besides our core team, we also employ art students and our beloved local seamstress Meghrig to help us out with production. This way we always live up to our high-quality promise.
4. DISTRIBUTE
Our upcycled products are finally ready to reach the world, and you. We use upcycled cardboard and textile pieces for all of our packaging, labelling, and orders. Anything for miss Mother Nature! You can find our products here on our website and at the local Rotterdam secondhand shop Ding en Dingen.
