Upcycling brand RE;CODE

RE;CODE, Korea's leading upcycling fashion brand launched in 2012, brings new life to discarded clothing stock by adding creative ideas. Unsold clothing is normally incinerated three years after the release. Instead, RE;CODE recreates clothes by dismantling and reassembling deadstock. Due to the nature of this manual process, all RE;CODE products are produced in limited quantities, making them even more valuable. RE;CODE is divided into the Collection line infused with artistic designer sensibility and Re;nano, a more casual line made of eco-friendly materials and subsidiary materials from deadstock. RE;CODE is further expanding the scope of upcycled materials to industrial waste such as airbags and car seats. In recognition of the brand's craftsmanship, experimentation, and aesthetics, RE;CODE has been invited to numerous events at home and abroad. It has also held upcycling workshops, supported the employment of single mothers through BOX ATELIER, and ran the Re;light project for refugees. These efforts to reach underserved communities have been regarded as an excellent example of CSR.
