The pieces in the collection have been created using the upcycling method, which Printa has been working on since 2008. The upcycling technique is not the same as the better known recycling method, despite the fact that according to their Hungarian counterpart, both are "recycling". While recycling is the recycling of waste into its material (eg through selective waste collection), upcycling also adds value - so it means creating an object with new meaning through the use of materials that are considered waste. These include a bag made of leather scraps, a compound dress made of used shirts, and everything you find in this set.

We have collected the collections of the last 10 years in which we have used this technique - here you can read about them.
