Upcycle Collection

A collaboration between Retag's founder Nathalie and her mom. All the items are created from vintage fabric and faulty secondhand clothing. 100% handmade in Belgium. Unique items made with minimum waste.

It started with Nathalie's idea to design something herself. Inspired by Scandinavian brands which often work with big collars and vintage-inspired prints. Coming across vintage fabric all the time, she decided to buy some pieces and see what she could do with it. She also had some clothing laying around with rips/holes, ready to throw away, maybe she could do something with that as well...

Her mother loves to sew and when she was younger she made clothing for plus-size women. She immediately wanted to help and that's when they created their first piece, a detachable collar. After some trial and error they also came up with a collection of bucket hats. It was beautiful to see the ripped pieces turning into something useful again.

On May 26th, 7 p.m., the first collection is dropping.
