Retribe Clothing
A movement which remakes products from waste
Retribe Clothing, based in Sheffield, salvages materials from various sources to prevent landfill waste. We clean and process this material for reuse, designing lifestyle products sold on our website. We aim for a circular model, selling directly to customers, growing a 10K-strong Instagram following in two months. Our goal is to build an upcycling community, collaborating with retailers to collect damaged outdoor gear, extend product lifespans, and offer repair workshops. We focus on reducing outdoor industry waste through thoughtful design and utilization of materials.
Company/Institution
Retribe Clothing
Retribe clothing is a manufacturing movement- right here in Sheffield. We are changing the way products are manufactured utilising products and materials that are at the end of their lifespan. We salvage product from festivals that are left behind and buy unwanted deadstock fabrics.
We hope to become a community where we encourage people and brands to recycle through sustainable channels- such as ourselves and teach people how to make other products out of their damaged and unwanted goods, we will be holding workshops and lectures from our factory in Sheffield to bring our community together.
