From their very first day of trading right through to the present, THE UPSIDE donates a portion of every garment sold to Cambodian Children’s Trust. Cambodian Children’s Trust is a non-profit child protection organisation based in Battambang, Cambodia that draws on a community-led ‘Village Hive’ model to empower and enable vulnerable families to stay together. Beyond simply protecting them, Cambodian Children’s Trust also works to help enable the brightest future possible for these children by providing the necessary support, resources and opportunities to achieve transformational change

THE UPSIDE designs are created to be trendless, made of premium quality, and here for the long haul. The integrity and durability of their designs not only means you get maximum wear/joy from their purchases, but it also ensures they are minimising their contribution to landfill and other environmental dilemmas

Recycled polyester also known as rPET, is created by melting down existing plastic and re-spinning it into new polyester fiber. This fabric can be made from either post-industrial or post-consumer materials. For example, 5 water bottles yield enough fiber for one extra large T-shirt. This material repurposes existing plastic that would otherwise end up in the landfill or the ocean. 

Recycled polyester’s sustainable production requires low resources and energy to produce, and contributes low CO2 emissions. It also reduces the need to extract crude oil and natural gas from the ground to make more plastic, which is much better for the Earth.

Recycled polyester has not much difference from virgin polyester. It exhibits high strength, durability, versatility, and performance, lasting long in your closet, and surviving expected wear and tear easily.

Garments from recycled polyester aim to be continuously recycled without degradation of quality, allowing for circularity.

A synthetic material. However, instead of utilizing new materials to craft the fabric (i.e. petroleum), recycled polyester makes use of existing plastic.
