Coachtopia, Bank & Vogue collab moves from bags to clothing
Coachtopia continues to be one of the most interesting sustainability initiatives from a major brand and Beyond Retro's parent company Bank & Vogue continues to be one of the most important global players in secondhand and upcycled fashion. So when the two return for a second collaboration, it's bound to make waves. They've move on from their bags collab (which only debuted in March) and have now produced a clothing capsule. It's a limited-edition Patchwork Edit that 'champions reuse and reimagination by transforming pre-loved garments into striking, one-of-a-kind pieces'. Using components from discarded textiles, the Patchwork striped shirt and trousers avoid the creation of new materials, 'underscoring both brands' commitment to reducing fashion waste'. The lightweight set is designed for everyday wear and no two pieces are the same. Each shirt and trouser set feature its own combination of patterns and colours, 'celebrating the uniqueness of the upcycled materials used in their construction'. Catch said that 'this collaboration is part of Coachtopia's ongoing mission to rethink waste and reimagine fashion through the lens of circularity, creativity, and community'. Coachtopia first launched in spring 2023 and saw Coach rethinking the way it makes bags. Targeting young consumers, it's priced a little below the regular Coach offer and makes the most of surplus materials. It saw the company completely rethinking the product process with new bags made from the leftover materials that usually go straight to landfill and were previously seen as unusable. Bank & Vogue meanwhile, as parent company of Beyond Retro, is behind the biggest European secondhand fashion operation. But it goes further than that and the company led by Steven Bethell (who lives off the grid in the Canadian wilderness in his spare time) also operates the largest remanufacturing plant in the world. It takes post-consumer waste and transforms it into relevant products, working with big brands to help them bring their sustainability platforms to the next level.

ThredUp partners with UK's Beyond retro to take British vintage to US
On Thursday, American secondhand fashion platform ThredUp and UK-based vintage giant Beyond Retro unveiled a groundbreaking new partnership to take British vintage to US shoppers. The deal sees a first-of-its-kind curated collection of 17,000 vintage and vintage-inspired pieces being made available from Beyond Retro's archives. They span decades, styles, and stories. The companies said the collaboration 'not only celebrates the enduring power of great design but also positions secondhand as the ultimate style ThredUp and Beyond Retro are reimagining what it means to shop vintage in a digital age'. They added that while 'the pieces are timeless, the experience is thoroughly modern. ThredUp's sleek user interface makes discovering one-of-a-kind finds easier than ever, empowering personal style through conscious shopping'. Within parent company Bank & Vogue, Beyond Retro is just about the biggest name in UK vintage fashion and is also known for its 'new' pieces that repurpose vintage materials across a wide rage of price points. Earlier this year, for instance, Bank & Vogue partnered with Coach to introduce a collection of luxury bags made from textiles that were once destined for landfill. The limited-edition pieces sold for retail prices from £395 to £730. Meanwhile ThredUp is an equally prominent name in secondhand fashion. With a focus on curated, quality vintage pieces, only this week it reported Q1 revenues jumping 10% to $71.3 million on the back of rises in its active buyer numbers during the three months. The company, which last year announced plans to exit Europe, also said its losses from continuing operations narrowed significantly Its latest Resale Report this year said that the global secondhand apparel market is projected to reach $367 billion by 2029.
