Unspun and Resortecs tie-up create jeans ‘designed for disassembly’
12/11/2019
Venture-backed Resortecs’ thread dissolves at a high temperature so that the clothing can be disassembled to be remade into other garments.
US-based Unspun uses 3D scanning and fit algorithms to generate digital consumer sizing. Using the information, they create a pair of customised jeans that fit perfectly through 3D weaving.
“The technique eliminates back-end inventory, reduces wasteful processes and ultimately increases the lifespan and wearability of your garments,” said Unspun.
The pair are celebrating the collaboration at a pop-up store at Soho Yard on Hong Kong Island on November 23 and 24.
They are backed by the Amsterdam-based Fashion for Good initiative, among others.
