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.
