Since 2015, Adidas has partnered with Parley with a mission to eco-innovate ways to create a plastic-free ocean. Explore their responsible collections on Renoon

Since 2015 Adidas has a long-term commitment with the environmental organization Parley for the Oceans with the goal to turn marine pollution into sportswear. This expansion has in turn enabled adidas to accelerate production and expand the number of products made using our upcycled materials. Beyond apparel like shirts, socks and other performance wear, adidas produced 1 million pairs of shoes with Parley Ocean Plastic® in 2017, then 5 million in 2018, 11 million in 2019. Parley worked to develop the world’s first supply chain for upcycled marine waste and created Ocean Plastic® as a powerful symbol of change. Initially sourced from islands in the Maldives, they have now expanded the collection network to the Dominican Republic and Sri Lanka too, creating a steady demand for plastic waste that would otherwise end up in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean Sea

Pre-owned items are articles of clothing that have been retired from someone else closet. 

Pre-owned items already exist, so they require no additional resources and energy to create, contributing zero additional carbon emissions, pollution, and other environmental damages. Additionally, Pre-owned garments are being saved from being thrown away. Around €150 million worth of textile waste goes to landfill and waste each year. Buying pre-owned garments gives clothing second lives, building circularity in the fashion industry, and shortening the demand for new garments.

Pre-owned garments are also often more special because they are often one of a kind because they aren’t sold commercially anymore. They can make your wardrobe more unique, showing your individuality.

Pre-owned items help you reduce the impact of your purchase and close the loop. Around €150 million worth of textile waste goes to landfill and waste each year. By choosing pre-owned items you are keeping them in circle for longer.

Items can be returned 14 days after the delivery.

Few-of-a-kind™ womenswear shop funded by Ruby, a New York City & Copenhagen based girl. Ruby's pieces are made of truly upcycled vintage fabric remnants dating 1930-1999 with zero-impact on the environment. You're not shopping – you're recycling

The brand carries size XS-XL off-hand, but it also does made-to-order for ALL sizes -- plus-size welcome!

Girl of the Earth is 100% women-owned and women manufactured. The founder Ruby, grew up in downtown Manhattan to antique-dealer parents, so "I inherited and cultivated relationships with vintage suppliers, flea market owners, eccentric grandmas, and just plain hoarders, who I buy gorgeous old fabric from. This supply chain is super unconventional and requires my life-long expertise, and a lot of luck, but basically I'm just really really good at shopping" says Ruby

How the founder Ruby says, Girl of the Earth is a one-woman show!

Every piece is made from vintage fabrics dating 1930-1999. Ruby, the founder, sources these personally using her lifelong knowledge. These leftover pieces of fabric are so small that other brands would never bother to use them. Ruby, the founder says "I understand why— it's a super time-intensive business model. I am always spending way too much time negotiating prices, inspecting fabrics' condition, and giving my seamstress complex instructions about which remnants are for which styles"

Ethically and locally made in NY by the brand's legendary seamstress Cici

Like you didn't try at all. These are perfect-fitting suit-style shorts with a flared wide-leg silhouette and cinched super-high-waist. Exposed invisible zip with a vintage mother-of-pearl button closure. Comfortable enough for an airplane styled with a vintage tee and boots, but also can be easily dressed up to go out with a tube top and slingback kitten heels. Matching scrunchie included!
Our vintage-fabric-womenswear is made using remnants dating 1930-1989, meaning each piece has zero environmental impact and is what we like to call few-of-a-kind™. We only found enough of this cotton (circa 1970s) to make 14 pairs of shorts! Ethically made in NY by our legendary seamstress. BTW our sizes may run slightly small, so measure yourself— these best fit a 23-24 inch waist in XS, 25-26 in S, 27-28 in M, 29-30 in L, and 31-32 in XL (and if we're sold out or you'd like something custom to your measurements, check out our made-to-order page).
*Please note, these materials were upcycled from pre-consumer vintage textiles, aka a fancy way of saying recycled. This means the fabric can be delicate, and the content not guaranteed (our specialists assess). Dry clean preferred (if it's cotton or poly wash cold and hang dry)— and try lazy washing: spot-clean, pat odorous areas with vodka, and place in the freezer for a day.

Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality and environmental value. 

Upcycling artists are inspired by the textile waste they see, which is almost an unlimited resource at this point. They create with the intention to use what is already here. This process is important in the circular fashion movement, because it makes use of discarded textiles, giving these materials second lives. 

Because discarded textiles are not typically sheets of fabric, but rather articles of discarded clothing, a lot of creativity is required to transform materials into new fashionable pieces. This challenge is exciting for upcycling artists, as they are driven and inspired to create with what is in front of them and often don’t have much to lose in the process, since discarded materials are readily available and cheap. Because of this, upcycled clothing is often unique as each piece has been thoughtfully crafted into a new garment.

This product is made by creatively upcycling materials that would otherwise go to waste. This makes better use of resources like deadstock fabrics: leftovers from big production that are saved by re-using them.
