The RealReal released ReCollection 02, the first project from its new Circular ReSource Lab that works to create impactful solutions to the fashion waste crisis. The RealReal created its ReCollection upcycling program to put damaged pieces most likely to end up in landfills back in circulation. Recirculating just 1 in 5 existing items would help put fashion on track to achieve the 1.5-degree pathway laid out by the Paris Climate Accord, according to McKinsey. The RealReal ReCollection 02 features more than 60 one-of-a-kind pieces of women?s ready-to-wear and accessories upcycled from luxury items that could not be worn in their current state, giving them new life and new value. Sourced from The RealReal?s repository of damaged items by brands including Prada, Gucci, Celine and Alexander McQueen (which have no direct affiliation with the collection), ReCollection 02 turns pieces at the higher risk of being landfilled into unique new looks. Long coats were reimagined as skirt sets to remove worn fabric. Luxe cardigans with holes were given new life as blazers with matching bralettes. Trousers were transformed through tying techniques into a minidress to remove staining. Using insights from its more than 24 million members, The RealReal incorporated seasonal styles, colors and silhouettes that are in high demand among its shoppers when designing the collection. ReCollection 02 mixes core staples for winter like outerwear and knitwear with party-ready holiday looks including two-piece sets and cocktail dresses. Prices for these one-of-a-kind pieces range from $200 to $680. The RealReal ReCollection 02 is exclusively available for sale at therealreal.com/recollection02 and in the company?s New York store in Soho.
