The Ultimate Upcycling Directory
Founded in 2022, RE.STATEMENT is the world's leading upcycled fashion marketplace. Like the pieces on it, often imitated, never duplicated.
Every designer selling here makes their pieces themselves, from clothing and material that already existed. Thrifted, deadstock, donated, or the customer's own garment sent in to be reworked. Nothing here is produced in a run, and nothing gets made twice.
Every designer on the marketplace
Independent designers and small businesses making one of one pieces from existing, used and deadstock material. This list builds itself from what is actually live on the marketplace right now, so tap a name to see everything they have for sale.
