A recycling-oriented business that aims for zero clothing waste

Upcycle

Major Initiatives

Creating a cycle
Contribution to SDGs

OLD FLIP creates a clothing cycle of "buying used clothes," "wearing them," and "passing them on to the next person," and contributes to reducing waste and reusing resources. It also creates opportunities to reuse clothes that are lying around in closets, proposing a "no throwing away" lifestyle. Furthermore, it is working to operate a sustainable business by introducing LED lighting, etc.

Upcycling through black dyeing and remaking

They use collected clothing and materials purchased from textile recycling companies to regenerate new clothing through black dyeing and remaking. They mainly use denim, which is often discarded, and provide high-quality deep black dyeing that does not fade in partnership with Kyoto Montsuki. They have also launched a remake brand called "zivun," where designers and students work to remake old clothing into new pieces.

Installation of clothing collection boxes

We have set up used clothing collection boxes in our stores and offices to collect even dirty or torn clothing free of charge. We remake or upcycle collected items by black dyeing, minimizing unsold items and waste and creating new value.

"A vintage clothing store you'll want to visit every week"

The lineup of carefully selected high-quality products is appealing, and even those new to reuse can feel free to stop by. They use a countdown system where prices go down every Friday, providing an exciting shopping experience.

We face
Social Issues

assignment

In Japan, 470,000 tons of clothing are thrown away as garbage every year, with 130 truck loads of clothing being incinerated and landfilled every day, raising concerns about the impact on the environment. While clothing production entails a large environmental burden, such as CO2 emissions and water pollution, oversupply and a shortening of life cycles are leading to mass disposal. Furthermore, clothing in poor condition cannot be purchased, and most of it is disposed of as household waste.
