THE INTELLIGENT SEARCH ENGINE -INDEPENDENT- WITHOUT ANY PAID PUBLICITY
THE R COLLECTIVE
The R Collective is a social impact business, born in 2017, to eliminate fashion’s waste by reusing and recycling textile waste. We create products and clothing with a conscience. It all started with a cycling trip. As part of a sponsored charity event, I cycled 1,200km, ten hours per day, from my back door in Hong Kong, through China's expansive southern manufacturing hinterland. This area is wall-to-wall gigantic factories, enabling the country’s massive textile industry. The ride unlocked an emotional and intellectual blind spot regarding the origin of our clothing in the West. I suddenly understood the scale of our fashion consumption and the parallel scale of our textile waste. - Christina Dean, Founder & Chief Operating Officer
