Environmental protection has been an important topic in the fashion industry in recent years, with major brands racking their brains to contribute to the planet and support sustainable development. In addition to reducing waste from the source and switching to renewable and biodegradable materials, how to make good use of the remaining resources in the production process is also a focus for major brands, and Loewe recently launched The Sunplus Project, which utilizes leftover resources to create exquisite pieces.
Practice resourcefulness, promote environmental protection, and reuse new ideas. The Surplus Project reuses surplus materials from past collections to create a series of woven baskets. The reused materials include smooth calf leather and grained calf leather. Brand craftsmen cut leather of different colors into strips, then weave them together using a crisscross weaving method to create leather woven baskets that are artistic and crafty. The leather woven baskets offer different color options – those who prefer harmonious and understated can choose solid colors, while those who prefer eye-catching styles may consider mixed color designs.
In addition to the leather woven basket, The Surplus Project also launched a two-tone crab-shaped pendant, which is hand-woven with surplus leather. The crab’s body and claws are exquisitely crafted to look lifelike, showcasing the brand’s leather craftsmanship to the fullest. Combining craftsmanship and fashion, it also incorporates the concept of sustainable development and environmental protection. The Surplus Project is definitely worth supporting!
