THE UPCYCLED COLLECTION
“We believe that it’s important to look at our existing resources and use them when we can, rather than always creating something from scratch. Designing isn’t about making new things – it’s about problem solving, refining, and finding better solutions. The beauty of upcycling is that by working within certain parameters the outcome can be even more creative.”
– Emilia Castles, Designer at Filippa K
THE VIRA SHIRT
The Vira Shirt embraces circular fashion with sleeve cuffs made from upcycled silk scarves. Originally part of our Pre-Fall 2018 collection, the repurposed pieces now add a soft touch to this crisp cotton shirt. The classic design is complete with buttons made from recycled polyester and recycled mother of pearl.
THE MITCHELL JACKET
The Mitchell Jacket is a fresh take on a long coat from our Spring 2018 collection. The strong foundations allowed the Filippa K design team to reimagine it as a shorter jacket, with added details from the leftover fabric. It’s complete with a removable teddy pile vest that also utilises upcycled materials.
