Upcycling makes use of already existing pieces. It often uses very few resources in its creation and actually keeps ‘unwanted’ items out of the waste stream. It is one of the most sustainable things to do in the fashion industry.

We have decided to give our defective cotton tights a second life by making these lovely headbands (in two sizes: kids’ and women’s).

From collection designing to customer delivery, our products are totally made at Briatexte, a small village in France. A family-run business founded in the south of France in 1947, Collégien has specialized in crafting artisanal quality socks for nearly a century, passing careful techniques and timeless design sense down through the generations.

That’s why we might introduce different colours in the future. If you like these ones, hurry up and grab them before they’re gone!
