The R Collective is a social impact business working to reduce waste. Our mission is to accelerate sustainability and circularity through rescuing, reusing and recycling luxury and premium waste materials and converting these into a wide range of responsible products. Our vision is a world without fashion’s waste. We were inspired into life in 2017 through the pioneering work of our 2007-founded sister charity, Redress, which also works to reduce waste in fashion - to whom we donate 25% of our profits.
