Welcome to our new Community Corner - a space we will be using to showcase the wonderful work our community and team do in Hong Kong to support Redress’ mission to cut waste out of fashion!

We are thrilled to announce the further extension of our clothing takeback programme in partnership with lifestyle brand, Tommy Hilfiger. From July, customers will be able to give their unwanted clothes a new life at six Tommy Hilfiger stores across Hong Kong, and be a part of a more sustainable and circular fashion system.

Following a decade of pop-ups to reduce clothing waste and raise critical funds to support Redress’ work, we announce our permanent space!

We are thrilled to announce the 10 Redress Design Award 2021 Finalists whose textile-waste-reducing designs catapulted them to become finalists of the world’s largest sustainable fashion design competition. The finalists will now bring their application concepts to life and get ready for the grand final show on 11 September 2021 in Hong Kong, where the winners will be announced.

Hong Kongers can now shop the Redress Closet all year round! The Redress Closet, our new curated secondhand clothing and accessories shop is opening in Sham Shui Po to support our mission to reduce the city’s clothing waste. Join us for our Grand Opening weekend of Friday 14 - Sunday 16 May.

Redress’ fashion Takeback programme has increased its clout with the confirmation of a strategic partnership with industry heavyweight, CN Logistics.

The Redress Takeback programme is now available in 34 locations throughout Hong Kong thanks to our latest partnership with Inditex Group, the group behind fashion favorites including Zara, Pull & Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka and Oysho. Zara Home also features collection boxes for selected home textile items.

Redress is delighted to announce the launch of its latest Takeback partnership in Hong Kong with French fashion concept store, rue Madame. From this month, members of the public can take their unwanted used clothing to one of three participating rue Madame stores in Hong Kong and drop it in the collection box. Collected clothing is first sorted before being redistributed, resold or, if absolutely necessary, recycled by Redress to increase the lifespan of the textile or maximise its inherent value.

Our 2020 consumer campaign, designed to ignite the circular economy and encourage people to keep clothing in use for longer, proved to be the most successful to date.

Open to all, the Redress Design Award 2021 Pathway Course supports emerging designers intending to enter the current competition cycle, aiming to deepen their knowledge of circular fashion design strategies and techniques and give them an edge in both the competition and the fast-changing fashion industry.

2020 has not been without its challenges for the Redress team. Due to COVID-19, we have been forced to cancel numerous fundraising and community events throughout the year, and have had to find new ways to deliver our programmes - including taking our entire Redress Design Award and Get Redressed Month programmes virtual.

AIGLE would rather have their Black Friday Green, and we agree. This year AIGLE is taking a stand for fashion and the planet and has a strong desire to commit together for sustainable consumption. How? By being surrounded by inspiring personalities and positive ideas. No lesson givers, no fake promises, no impossible-to-keep resolutions.

Redress is pleased to share our recommendations submitted to the Hong Kong SAR’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam as part of the ongoing public consultation for the 2020-21 policy address to be delivered in November 2020.

With these recommendations, we hope to encourage government policies that support Hong Kong in reducing our textile waste rates and moving toward a more circular economy.

Educating young citizens is critical in enabling positive consumer behaviour and fighting against climate change.

We recently commissioned a study “Clothing Consumption, Usage and Disposal Habits in Hong Kong” to reveal that two in five Hong Kongers only hold onto clothing for one year or less and nearly a third discard unwanted clothing items in the rubbish, contributing to the approximately 196 tonnes of clothing that enters Hong Kong's landfills every day.

This year, due to the global pandemic, Get Redressed Month will look a little bit different to previously, and we are excited to share our new plans!

If you've been following our social media platforms and newsletter updates, you'll know that we have recently launched our annual consumer awareness campaign, #GetRedressed Month! Last month, we unveiled our new look and website pages, and this month we are excited to reveal more details about some of the events taking place during Get Redressed Month itself.
