The R Collective

At The R Collective, we see ‘waste’ as an opportunity and not a threat. That’s why luxury fashion excess, including complex IP-sensitive fabric and garment excess, doesn’t intimidate us. We’ve developed secure circular supply chain partnerships in multiple markets. So we’re specialists - aka aficionados! - at recycling fashion’s toughest excess IP-sensitive materials into R Textiles and then R Products, supporting our long-standing luxury fashion brands on their circularity journeys as we do so. Less talk, more action. Learn how we recycle fashion waste into opportunities.

We love fashion and loathe waste. With textile waste set to rise by 60% by 2030, fashion’s waste crisis is only getting worse. But waste isn’t waste until we waste it... We are a social impact business rescuing, reusing and recycling fashion’s waste to create responsible circular products and recycling solutions for global businesses Need Responsible corporate products, packaging or merchandise? From totes and pouches to luggage tags and backpacks, we’ve got you covered. Get in touch.

In the fast-moving world of business, quick wins can be tempting. But transforming fashion waste into a circular system isn’t a solo sprint—it’s a team marathon. Real change takes persistence, strategy, and, above all, collaboration at every level. The R Collective is a powerhouse of experts—designers, strategists, production specialists, and sustainability leaders—all united by a shared vision. Through close collaboration with our recycling partners, we extend our mission beyond design, working together to rescue, reuse, and recycle waste textiles.

With the climate crisis wreaking havoc, the fashion industry’s climate impact is increasingly on the chopping block.
