RIOtaso: Scrap Fabric to Fashion
#RIOtaso: carefully curating scrap fabric to create new things
by Rio Estuar
**FINAL STRETCH ADDITION: Ang Polo Ni Lolo**
To close out our Spark Project campaign, we've decided to add a customizable, one-of-a-kind button down shirt as a reward option for backers. Choose your own scrap fabrics to be combined, and we'll make the button down for you!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RIOtaso is a play on the Tagalog term, RETASO, which means scrap fabric, and I’m Rio!
I once had a clothing line that was on top of its game, which ranged from tops, headwear, outerwear, and much more. After some time, I started seeing the amount of waste that I was producing. With more research, I found out that the fashion industry produces 92-million metric tons of waste a year! That’s roughly 4% of the world’s yearly waste, which is even higher than our toxic e-waste.
So, I stopped and took on a new challenge: to create using the scraps discarded by the fashion industry. In this new process, I not only create pieces I can never “RIOcreate”, but I also did not produce waste, because I was repurposing the waste.
EXAMPLES OF OUR WORK
OUR MISSION
With your help, we can sustain a zero waste creative space for a team dedicated to sustainable fashion, spread awareness about the waste produced by the fashion industry and what can be done about it, and reach out to other companies to let them know that RIOtaso can be an outlet for their waste.
REWARDS
To thank you for your support, our Spark Project backers will have first access to the following items at a highly discounted price. Hurry and get your holiday shopping in as we start shipping in December!
Note: due to the nature of creating items with scrap fabric resulting in each item as one of a kind, please take the items below as mock ups, and not an exact copy of your actual rewards.
TOTEdo na TOTE Bag colors
BEL(a)T Bag colors
last but not the least...
Custom #RIOversible Cover Ups
Colors will be selected by the backer, and measuring will be done at the RIOtaso studio in Quezon City.
Thank you for your support!
