PRODUCT

We teamed up with Impakt_ID to create a truly timeless, beautiful, and circular limited-edition pieces crafted with great attention to detail and our planet. The goal: prove that bold fashion and a sustainable lifecycle can come together to deliver a masterpiece you’d love wearing.

Thank you for helping preserve our planet! Tag your photos with #kooltheplanet to support the switch towards a more conscious, obviously sexier, fashion.

Who made my multi-use bags

Ana took to heart the development of low-footprint packaging. Devoted to the mission, she was able to source up-cycled linen derived from a tablecloth and re-purpose it into a beautiful and functional bag.

After life

Recycle the textile

Don't throw

New textile and new life

We need to close the loop and clean the karma of every piece that we buy. So after many sunny days and happy dances in your Not A Virgin swimsuit, we remind you to submit it for recycling or use our Circulate program with Thrift+ to give it a second life. Let’s build memories together, not mountains of clothes.
