From Charles & Keith to Ginlee Studio: How Singaporean brands are reinventing circular fashion

Create a customised bag – purse, pack or tote– using ready-made textiles from unsold merchandise from the brand. Want to jazz it up? Add a utility pocket, lanyard or keyholder to your bag through the signature “pOcuts” experience.

Looking to challenge yourself? Try the Tee-tO-Bag experience. It repurposes your unwanted T-shirts into a Tee Bag that you can tote around daily. And though you will need to sew the bag itself, at least the handles are 3D-printed, which makes assembly easier. It comes in two sizes and shapes: Onetee and TwOtee.

If your favourite Ginlee outfit needs a little fixing, the brand also offers a repairing, resizing and even re-pleating service, O Fix It, to help extend its wearability and longevity. 

Make O experiences start from S$88, while the O Fix It starts from S$10 and are available at Raffles City and National Design Centre outlets by appointment only. For more information, visit www.ginleestudio.com

2. Graye

As part of Graye’s #revivewithgraye initiative, you can bring in your Graye outfits for complimentary repairs to extend its lifespan. Or you can donate your Graye outfits – still in good condition of course – to be revived and even receive a small discount voucher to use on your next piece while doing so.
