Description

The re.store® coin purse is socially inclusive, sustainable, sturdy and uniquely designed!

It is socially inclusive because it is made by people who are uniquely different – IPSS users, refugees, social causes, active ageing, prison inmates – whose work is paid for with dignity. It is sustainable and contributes to reducing the ecological footprint because it is made from waste from production cuts that would otherwise be destroyed and from production surpluses (closures). In order not to create waste in our manufacturing operation, we decided to use the original cut for this coin purse, resulting in products that are truly unique in their design. As these are fabric offcuts, the pattern is not exactly the same on all of them and may vary from the actual product.

The brand label is woven from recycled polyester yarn and the paper label with the re.store® value proposition is made from cotton waste and seeds, so it’s plantable!

Approximate size of coin purse: 8.5×12.5 cm.
Clasp size: 12cm

What does this purse ‘carry’?

• Social inclusion because it is done by social partners;
• Sustainable because it is made from textile waste (quilted fabrics and zippers);
• A truly unique and appealing design given its essence: upcycling;
• Upcycling surplus production from a company in the north of Portugal;
• The know-how of the Portuguese textile industry;
• Our commitment to a greener Planet and happier People.

What is our impact in developing this wallet?

For People: remuneration for the social partners who made the purses. On the Planet: reuse of textile material (fabrics and fasteners), with no additional consumption of water and energy, no CO2 emissions and no use of chemical agents.

Join us and be part of an eco and socially conscious future. The difference is in the small actions, because those are the ones that really count!
