Cotton workwear in industrial and craft businesses is usually only worn for a limited period of time. After that, many of these garments are discarded and disposed of - even though they still possess material, substance, and history. This is exactly where Re&Up comes in: with the idea of seeing what already exists not as an end, but as the beginning of something new.
Instead of being thrown away, the discarded workwear is handed over to MINISTRY OF UPCYCLING. There, the sweatshirts are taken over after being cleaned, carefully inspected, sorted by size and color, and reprinted. In this way, functional garments are transformed into new pieces that don't hide their origins, but rather translate them into a new form. Every item carries traces of its past, and it is precisely this that makes it something unique.
