What our customers say

Brittany Von Wahlde Fort Worth, TX

I absolutely LOVE this backpack! The colors are a bit darker than the picture (straps are black and the denim is VERY deep blue as opposed to light) but that didn’t matter very much to me. The material is very thick and sturdy, the straps and adjusters work well, and it came with a hand written note and a reusable tote bag! So excited to use it daily!

Cotton durrie
Jackie Child East Brisbane, Australia

Beautifully made and fantastic quality! Love that it’s made from recycled material! Thank you so much!

Sunetra Dasgupta India

The small tyre tube sling is a must have for everyone. It is cute as well as very handy. I’m not worried about the Bangalore rains soiling my bag anymore. I know they are safe. Also they go with my Indian and western wear? What more do I need? Nothing! But what it also gives me is a lot of space to keep my things. It is not crammed at all. Love it love it love it

Orange Hobo Tote Bag
Deepica Pujari India

There’s so much about Rimagined that’ll draw you back to them. It’s not just those pleasant colors which is the first thing we notice. Shailaja has an eye for details. Apart from the fact that they bring life back into used and thrown materials, all that she creates is utilitarian, brilliantly put together, there’s so much strength and intelligence in its design and build, perfect finishing. There’s no way you won’t rave about it and there’s no way heads don’t turn when they look at it.

Charanya India

The carpet as well as table are upcycled. The table is made with wine carts. The papasan chair we have kept from 2009. The sofa is refurbished as well.so, glad that we have kept oldies and added upcycled furniture! Thanks for the addition.

Why Upcycling is important!

Rimagined is committed to creating a more sustainable future by offering products that are rescued before going to landfill! We r(e)imagine the way waste products can be repurposed & give them a new life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between upcycling and recycling?

In Recycling, the base material is broken down and transformed into a different product, which is also quite resource intensive. This also results in deterioration of quality of the material. So eventually the material will have to dumped after some rounds of recycling.

In Upcycling, the material does not undergo any breakdown and it gets repurposed into a new product using innovative design. So looking at the Upcycled product, one can make out the  base material that is used. The other phrase that can used for upcycling is “Extending material lifetime”. There is no loss of quality and the same material can keep getting repurposed using creativity. This is also not a resource intensive process.

Are upcycled products long lasting?

The challenge with waste materials is that they don’t disintegrate and affect the environment adversely. We use this negative aspect of the material to our advantage when we repurpose them and create high quality products.

All the products are created to last long, without compromising on the aesthetics. Also we ensure that the accessories like the zips, pullers, lining material we use are all of the best quality so that every design we offer is of premium quality.So if the question is how long will the product last – our answer is “Longer than you can even imagine”.

Do you offer customized upcycled clothing?

The key to Upcycled design is that we work backwards. We first see what material is available with us at that particular time. And then based on this availability, we work on the product designs. So this does not allow us to create custom apparel. We always offer a capsule collection of Apparel, with also the constraint of the sizes that can be made available. The length of the fabric determines our offering.

Which materials have you used for upcycling?

Our idea is to offer our customers an upcycled alternative to most of the products one might use in every day consumption. So we also work with a wide range of materials which include Denim, Tyre Tubes, Fabric, Yarn (Cotton, Wool, Silk) , Wood, Glass

Can your upcycled products be gifted?

Upcycled products are perfect for gifting. We ensure that our designs are unique, quality is perfect and every design has a utility element to it. So the next time you think of gifting or you are receiving a gift, we would encourage you to check out an Upcycled alternative as your first choice. If you can’t find what you need, check with us. We might be able to make it for you.

Do you deliver outside India?

We also do international shipments. But the shipping charges will depend on the destination location. Do drop us a mail at [email protected] with your requirement for International shipments.

Do you take fabric waste?

Yes, we do take fabric waste and use it for fabric upcycling. This can be your clothes, sarees, curtains, bed sheets. But we would request you to send it to our workshop located in Kolkata, India. For further details, you can drop us an email at [email protected].

How do we ensure the hygiene element of the products we make, as all the products are by repurposing material that is counted as waste ?

The key process as part of any upcycling we do is cleaning of the primary waste material. Every single piece of denim, tyre tube, fabric gets a thorough wash before we even use it. And to ensure that we follow a chemical free process, the entire cleaning uses natural cleaners like Reetha (Soapnut). This also helps us bring to you a product that does not undergo any chemical treatment and follows our philosophy of environment first.

KNOW OUR PROCESS

Pre-consumer fabric waste comes to us mainly from the suppliers or manufacturers. Products that have quality defects, products that are not sold off the shelves, unused fabrics from retailers & boutiques make up a major chunk of material we use .

Important terms related to upcycling

Handcrafted

The word handcrafted refers to making something skilfully by hand. Handmade is another word for handcrafted as its meaning is the same, and therefore used interchangeably. In the same vein, handloom is a textile loom that is machine for weaving cloth, but is hand operated.

Patchwork Designs

Patchwork design is one of the techniques used in handcrafting products. This method is mainly used for textiles and fabrics. Here, patches of fabrics are cut into different colours, arranged in an attractive pattern and stitched by hand. A good example of this is the patchwork quilt.

Sustainable

The word sustainable points to the use of naturally available materials, products and energy sources in such a manner that it does not cause the environment any harm.

Vegan Products

Products that are made from raw materials that do not contain any animal ingredients or animal-derived ingredients can be termed as vegan products. Example: Cotton (Vegan) Vs Silk (Not vegan).

Zero Waste

The very basic meaning of this term is a situation where no waste is produced. It is a movement in itself focussing on processes that prevent waste generation and support the need for redesigning life cycles where all products can be reused. The key goal of the zero waste movement is to prevent trash being dumped in landfills, burned in incinerators or thrown in the ocean.

Rubber

Also known as vegan leather, we create a mix of everyday essential bags and pouches crafted from rubber of inner tyre tubes. Being a natural material, rubber can be easily upcycled into vanity cases, ladies wallets, laptop sleeves, tote bags and mobile slings.

Textiles

Cotton and denim are the two chief textile materials that we work with. We use cotton sarees to upcycled them into durries for bags, throws or upholstery for furniture. Denim being a rough and tough fabric is transformed into backpacks, tote bags, tablet sleeves and laptop sleeves as well as bed covers and aprons.

Wood

We use discarded wood scrap sourced from wood factories that generate a ton of wood waste. We use this waste creatively into something meaningful and purposeful like an ottoman stool.

Yarn

A versatile fabric as it is, we use leftover yarn to craft floor rugs, cotton-yarn stoles, and handloom sarees.

Since all of our products are upcycled and handcrafted, customization comes to us naturally. Just drop us a line on our email id [email protected] with your requirements and specifications and we’ll be happy to help you.
