12 Picks From REFASH's Collection That Will Make You Fall In Love With Upcycled Fashion
REFASH may be all about up-cycling, but it clearly deforms some of the preconceived judgements we carry about up-cycled garments. REFASH promotes and retails products that are made out of post-industrial, pre-consumer and post-consumer waste. Any material, product or piece that has reached the end of its’ life, can be used in a creative way to make a new, beautiful, ready to use product. This is the beauty of up-cycling.
Akanksha Akashi, the founder of REFASH, shares some of her favourite picks from their collection, and you will be stunned to realize how beautifully each of these pieces have been brought back to life from some of the nearly discarded materials.
