The UPCYCLED series comprises a collection of various washable work gloves for home and garden work. They are mostly made of yarn recycled from PET bottles, which is visible as a white thread running through the mottled blue and green exterior. The colours are a reference to plants and water to emphasise the idea of reducing marine pollution. The palm and fingertips feature a natural rubber coating. The material combinations offer wearing comfort, a good grip and keep the hands dry and cool.
Statement by the Jury
The UPCYCLED collection focuses on sustainability, which is achieved and conveyed through the choice of materials.
