FASHION SHOULDN’T COST THE EARTH
A collective focused on educating designers and consumers about sustainable practices through fun interactive experiences, engaging stories, and conscious products.
The RP Collection is inspired by the 26 billion tons of plastic in the ocean.
Every RP garment helps to keep plastic bottles out of the ocean.
-
Fabric – Our recycled polyester uses PET as the raw material. We source this from clear plastic water bottles, so less of it ends up in a landfill and oceans. Recycled polyester uses less energy to process than virgin polyester. The greige yarns we use are certified by the Global Recycled Standard (GRS).
Hang Tags – The hang tags we use to put on our brand information are printed on recycled paper that is certified by The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Packaging – Plastic bags start out as fossil fuels and end up as deadly waste in oceans and landfills. In order to minimize the impact on the environment, we use packaging made of plant-based materials that are certified by DAkkS.

Using recycled material is not good enough. We need to ensure the production of our products and apparel is done in a sustainable manner. Our entire business model of “make-to-order” is built on having zero inventory and zero waste production. We only make what is ordered!
-
All fabric is made to order, and color variations may occur between different orders. We work only with certified suppliers with the highest level of ethics, compliance, sustainability, and social responsibility track records.

We deploy digital printing which utilizes much less ink and water compared to traditional processes like screen printing. The ink that we use is certified by SGS and VOC-free. From cutting, sewing, and ironing to inspection and packaging, our whole production process is fully compliant with the WRAP Production Principles.
