H&M Group<\/a>'s sustainability-focused brand Monki<\/a> has released a new capsule collection \u2013 Up:cycle, made from leftover organic cotton denim garments and recycled thread and zippers.<\/strong><\/p>\n The capsule features three key pieces \u2013 a pair of Yoko jeans, a tie-waist jacket and a tote bag. All crafted in a patchwork design of mixed organic denim washes.<\/p>\n The collection production process can be explained in a 5-step method.<\/strong> Firstly, the leftover organic cotton denim is hand-selected by the production team. The new pattern is then cut out from the leftover garments. The pieces are sewn together to create a new and unique upcycled garment. And lastly, the garments are rinse washed with no new dye added.<\/p>\n Jenny Fagerlin, Global Sustainability Manager Monki, said: \u201cWe love fashion and our planet, and we therefore need to transform ourselves and the industry to operate within the planetary boundaries. This collection is a small step in our journey to become more circular.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n The brand is known for its dedication to using better materials in all products, with the aim to only use recycled or other sustainably sourced material by 2030.<\/strong> This includes a denim range made with 100% certified organic cotton, swimwear made from recycled polyester and polyamide, and since 2018 all Monki cotton is 100% sustainably sourced.<\/p>\n
