SHANGHAI, Nov. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Combining technological innovation with user-driven design, PGYTECH, one of the world's leading brands in photography accessories, officially unveiled its new OneGo series of shoulder bags on November 20th. The series includes the Cloud Bag in two sizes (M and S), as well as the Drawstring Bag in Ivory White and Forest Green variants. The sleek and minimalist design language marks PGYTECH's move toward a more mainstream and youthful audience, catering to the ever-changing market demands. Precisely capturing market dynamics and crafting exceptional products with a user-driven approach, PGYTECH has shifted its focus. Previously, photography enthusiasts, predominantly male, prioritized storage and protective features when selecting camera gear bags. However, with an increasing number of female users entering the world of visual content creation, fashion and personal expression have become equally significant factors. The market lacked a product that seamlessly combines style with utility for mirrorless camera storage. Based on profound market insights and a user-centric brand philosophy, the release of the Cloud Bag & Drawstring Bag series addresses this gap for quality-conscious individuals and high-net-worth women. This transformation reflects PGYTECH's acute market awareness and commitment to constant innovation. With four different modes catering to various usage scenarios, the new OneGo camera bags are highly versatile. These modes include hand-carry, single-shoulder, packing-cube, and camera-strap modes, making the bags suitable for commuting, street photography, travel, and more. The internal design of the Cloud Bag & Drawstring Bag is ingeniously allowed for flexible and customized storage. The S variant offers a removable divider for flexible storage, while the M variant features a thick divider to securely separate the camera and lens, ensuring they are ready for use at any moment. An internal magnetic accessory pocket provides convenient storage for items like data cables, enhancing usability. Furthermore, multiple layers of reinforced padding effectively protect cameras and lenses. Notably, the Cloud Bag's main body is made of eco-friendly ultra-fine leather material, which reduces energy consumption by 30% to 50% through the recycling of discarded footwear and plastics, resulting in reduced carbon emissions. Compared to traditional genuine leather, it boasts higher durability, tear resistance, water repellency, and resilience. The newly released Cloud Bag M has an official price of $49.9, while the PGYTECH Cloud Bag S and various versions of the Drawstring Bag are priced at $45.9. With their current attributes and quality, these products cater to the vacant mid to high-end market segment. PGYTECH's primary target markets for these new products are Europe, the United States, and the Asia-Pacific region, with the goal of meeting the global demand of consumers. About PGYTECH Founded in 2015, PGYTECH strives to develop professional photography peripherals including camera bags, all-in-one camera kits and supports to deliver excellent products and aftersales service. PGYTECH is driven by technological innovation and, as of October 2023, has acquired over 150 patents, along with recognition from prestigious global awards like the Red Dot Award and IF Design Award, among others.

Following the acquisition, Terrot will continue to operate under the leadership of managing directors Robert W. Czajkowski and Dirk Lange. Santoni Shanghai plans to maintain Terrot's headquarters in Chemnitz, Germany, along with its facilities, brands, and practices.
PARIS, Nov. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting today, Vestiaire Collective, the leading global second-hand luxury fashion platform, announces it is banning a second wave of fast fashion brands from its platform. This marks the second year in a three-year rollout to ban all fast fashion from Vestiaire Collective's website. Following last year's initial announcement, Vestiaire Collective saw 70% of members impacted by the ban come back to the platform to shop for better quality items and invest in second-hand. Furthering their commitment to create a more circular economy, Vestiaire Collective worked with a committee of nine fashion and sustainability experts to create a clear definition of fast fashion and leverage this framework to ban industry giants from its website. BANNED BRANDS AND DEFINING FAST FASHION Banning more fast fashion from Vestiaire Collective's website will spark debate, however, with the climate crisis accelerating and ninety-two million tons of textile waste thrown away every year1, it is a necessary step to reduce fashion's environmental and social impact. As part of the company's mission to change the way people consume, Vestiaire Collective will utilize the platform to bring awareness to issues of textile waste and fashion overconsumption, as well as encourage other key fashion players to join the mission to change the industry. After a year of research and planning, starting today, Vestiaire Collective proudly bans a list of 30 brands including: Abercrombie & Fitch, Gap, H&M, Mango, Uniqlo, Urban Outfitters, and Zara among others. Vestiaire Collective gathered key industry experts to help build a framework defining fast fashion based on the five criteria fueling overproduction and overconsumption: Low price point: estimated average price point, also considering the repairability component Intense renewal rate: the estimated number of collections or number of new items drops per year Wide product range size: the number of items available at a given moment Speed to market: the production cycle time, from designing phase to finished goods in store Strong promotion intensity: the frequency and intensity of sale promotions Vestiaire Collective's nine industry and sustainability committee members were selected based on their expertise and strong understanding of fast fashion's negative environmental and social impact. The experts gave their in-depth opinion and analysis of the fast fashion market. The members include: 1 (Source: Ellen MacArthur Foundation) Orsola de Castro, Co-founder of Fashion Revolution and author Rachel Cernansky, Senior Sustainability Editor at Vogue Business Christina Dean, Founder and Board Chair of NGO Redress and Founder and Chief Operating Officer of The R Collective Eva Kruse, Chief Global Engagement Officer Pangaia, Founder of the Global Fashion Agenda Liz Ricketts, Co-founder and Director of The Or Foundation Lauren Singer, Managing Partner, Overview Capital François Souchet, Global Head of Sustainability and Impact Consulting at BPCM, Former lead "Make Fashion Circular" at Ellen MacArthur Foundation Lucianne Tonti, Fashion journalist and author Matteo Ward, Co-founder of Wrad living, activist, UN/CEFACT advisor "The decision to ban fast fashion was made to support Vestiaire Collective's long time work to promote alternatives to the dominant model of fashion. Fast fashion brands contribute to excessive production and consumption, resulting in devastating social and environmental consequences in the Global South. It is our duty to act and lead the way for other industry players to join us in this movement, and together we can have an impact." noted Dounia Wone, Chief Impact Officer, Vestiaire Collective. EDUCATION AND AMPLIFICATION Vestiaire Collective knows that banning fast fashion only works if consumers shop more consciously, and the company encourages buyers to think critically about their purchasing habits and the true impact of their choices. Vestiaire Collective created an educational journey for buyers and sellers who will see informational messages at every step of their shopping or listing experience. They will also receive practical alternatives for their existing fast fashion items via an online guide with resources for donation strategies and sustainability insights. Vestiaire Collective also commits to educating companies on the benefits of sustainable operations as well as evaluating existing relationships with partners and influencers based on their current practices. To create awareness, Vestiaire Collective is launching a global campaign "Think First, Buy Second" across its digital channels. The campaign leveraging AI technology, will include a video and visuals of piles of clothes located in some of the most recognizable locations of the Global North, such as Times Square, or The Eiffel Tour to replicate what textile waste and landfills would look like in consumers' own countries. The campaign will encourage social media users to take the pledge in an effort to turn Black Friday into a Better Friday. Participants can choose between pledging to only buy second-hand this Better Friday, until the end of the year, in 2024 or to stick to second-hand forever. ADVOCACY AND LOBBYING As part of the creation of an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework for textiles currently under discussion at the European Parliament, Vestiaire Collective has drawn up a position paper advocating greater transparency in the regulation of end-of-life and textile waste exports. The Company has called on the European Parliament and all industry stakeholders to address the urgency of textile waste. Today, France is the only European country to benefit from an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system that the European Commission proposes to expand to all European countries. Vestiaire Collective and Paris Good Fashion have conducted research and examined the shortcomings of the French system, which still relies heavily on the mass export of textiles, in order to propose a responsible and circular management of used garments, on a sound and solid basis, within the European Union and worldwide. About Vestiaire Collective Vestiaire Collective is the leading global platform for pre-loved luxury fashion. The company's mission is to transform the fashion industry for a more sustainable future, promoting the circular fashion movement as an alternative to overproduction, overconsumption and the wasteful practices of the industry. Driven by the philosophy "Long Live Fashion," Vestiaire Collective offers a trusted space for its community to prolong the life of its most-loved fashion pieces. The platform's innovative features simplify the selling and buying process and give its members access to one-of-a-kind wardrobes around the world.

Also announcing an expansion of the Fabrica X impact retail concept across Hong Kong and globallyHONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 16 November 2023 - Fabrica X, the Impact Retail Store operated by The Mills Fabrica, today launches its new campaign, Denim Futures. With support from sponsors including Levi's® and Advance Denim, Denim Futures will put the spotlight on new innovations and efforts around denim sustainability over the course of the next eight months. By now, many consumers and businesses are aware that the traditional denim industry has caused tremendous environmental impacts. From cotton cultivation to yarn dyeing to garment manufacturing, denim production depletes freshwater resources, with each pair of jeans using 3,781L of water, and emitting 33.4 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq)1. However, as a wardrobe staple, denim's popularity will continue to soar. The Mills Fabrica was grown out of Nan Fung Group's textile legacy in Hong Kong, especially in the denim production sector. The Mills, where The Mills Fabrica is located, was revitalized from a keen cotton mill that ventured into denim production in the 1980s. With a long history of engaging in the denim industry, The Mills Fabrica proudly presents Denim Futures to Fabrica X as its latest Impact Retail campaign. Riding on its momentum from the last two showcases — Biomaterials and Plastic Circularity, it aims to bring more awareness to consumers and introduce alternative sustainable supply chain players to businesses. The new campaign is also a part of its celebrations of five years of accelerating innovations, development, and adoption in the techstyle (the intersection between technology and lifestyle) sector. Advancing the future of denim through innovation and public education "As a techstyle VC and accelerator, denim has been a big focus for us given its universal popularity and also impact on the environment. Our goal is to bring together our portfolio companies, partners, and connections from every step of the supply chain to not only showcase the future of denim, but also celebrate the progress and commitment to the cause," said Cintia Nunes, General Manager, Head of Asia, The Mills Fabrica. "Now is the time to leverage the public's increasing awareness of traditional denim's adverse environmental impact and give them more reasons to support sustainable denim products. The Denim Futures campaign at Fabrica X provides a behind-the-scenes look at the incredibly innovative and creative denim technologies. And at the same time, we also call for support from every ecosystem player, from retailers, manufacturers to consumers, to accelerate the scalability and accessibility of sustainable denim, bringing the future of denim one step closer." The new campaign in Fabrica X was designed to provide a unique opportunity for consumers to learn the entire supply chain lifecycle of the denim industry through seeing and touching new material innovations, with also the opportunity to purchase sustainable denim products from a curated range of retailers. The upcycling workshop and 3D digitalization experience at Fabrica X's Denim Lab area will also provide visitors with hands-on experience of how the future of denim would look like. Introducing alternative sustainable supply chain players to businesses The showcase was made possible with the effort of ecosystem partners from various parts of the denim supply chain lifecycle – from design, materials production, and denim production, to end-of-life solutions. This includes two key sponsors Levi's® and Advance Denim. Levi's® has been dedicated to reducing its environmental impact through its sustainable WellThread® collections, and Advance Denim – as the oldest denim mill in China, established a new production model, including its water-saving BigBox Dyeing and plant-based Botanic Dyes, with environmental protection and recycling resources as the prerequisite for development. Other supporters include long-time partner Lenzing Group, supplier of TENCEL™ fibers, and known for its ecologically responsible production of specialty fibers made from renewable raw material, wood. Ecosystem partners will also demonstrate how the denim industry could tackle sustainability challenges with disruptive solutions. This includes The Mills Fabrica's portfolio companies, such as unspunTM – a sustainable fashion company that creates personalized and low-impact denim using 3D body scanning to achieve zero finished inventory; Circ – which pioneered a chemical recycling technology that can recycle polycotton – the one of the most common fabric blends used in clothing – into reusable fibers; and Renewcell, with a recycling technology that breaks down used cotton and other cellulose-rich textiles and transforms them into a new, biodegradable raw material: CIRCULOSE® pulp. In 2022, the innovative pulp was adapted by Levi's® with an aim to bring sustainable denim to the masses. "We hope to drive more awareness on denim sustainability in Hong Kong through our collaboration with The Mills Fabrica this time. There are a lot of design solutions in Levi's® that allow denim production to be less wasteful," said James Chang, Senior Marketing Manager TW & HK, Levi's®. "We really appreciate the Denim Futures campaign that The Mills Fabrica curated, showing the solutions to the sustainable denim production chain, as well as how consumers can treat their jeans in a more sustainable way. At Advance Denim, we share the same mission as The Mills Fabrica, to encourage industry-wide innovations for the sustainable development of the sector. For example, we have recently collaborated with Gracell X CIRCULOSE®. by Renewcell on viscose staple fiber made with a 50% blend of CIRCULOSE® pulp made from recycled textiles. With collaborative efforts, we hope to make denim one of the most sustainable fabrics in the world," said Michael Lam, Director, Advance Denim. As sustainable denim requires the participation of the entire ecosystem, carefully selected retail brands were invited to take part in the campaign, such as – M.ATO, a Hong Kong brand that combines the traditional Japanese techniques of natural indigo dyeing, sashiko stitching, and upcycled boro patchwork to create unique indigo pieces; Story Wear, a Taiwanese social enterprise that upcycles denim waste by skilled makers from disadvantaged backgrounds; Sophie Hawkins, a London-based workshop that produces sustainable jumpsuits with circular manufacture process in Japan, making sure that the product can be upcycled into a new product and eventually biodegradable at the end of its life; and klee klee, a Shanghai-based brand that emphasizes on minimalism and low-impact production to create high-impact denim products. In addition to the supply chain and retail partners, Fashionary, a Hong Kong company that designs and produces practical tools for professional fashion designers and fashionistas, as well as The Magic of Denim Consultancy, an advocate of denim sustainability and circularity within the APAC region, are the campaign's Knowledge Partners – ensuring that educational contents used in the campaign are verified, impactful, and not susceptible to greenwashing. Fabrica X on the move – expanding beyond Hong Kong and London The Denim Futures campaign succeeds the Biomaterials showcase, which celebrates new materials regenerated from organic waste through nature-based, biological processes to create more sustainable products. The campaign received positive feedback from the public, with over half (66%) of surveyed participants agreeing that they should be more considerate about clothing materials, while a vast majority (73%) are willing to pay a 10% premium or more for sustainable products. To bring accessibility and education to wider audiences of different demographics, past Fabrica X campaigns will go on a roadshow around Hong Kong – Biomaterials, and Plastic Circularity, are now moved to Nan Fung Place (Sheung Wan), and AIRSIDE (Kai Tak) respectively for display. The Mills Fabrica is also planning to further amplify the impact retail store concept by launching Fabrica X at more global locations, in addition to its innovation gallery in London. ________________________ 1Levi's Lifecycle Assessment Report 2015: The environmental input for jeans could differ significantly depending on the type of inputs used in the lifecycle assessment and the scope of the lifecycle assessment.

Collection features designer's iconic feminine style and leverages rescued textiles for a more sustainable collection SYDNEY, Nov. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In an Australian first, global online fashion and lifestyle retailer, SHEIN, today announces a collaboration with leading Australian designer, Alice McCall. The SHEIN x Alice McCall is a capsule collection of over 30 pieces – a revival of the renowned designer's beloved romantic style, with pieces for every occasion. Pop pastels, floral prints evocative of an English garden, a nod to 70s Italian lingerie, art nouveau inspired lurex jacquard pieces, sequined mini dresses, toile de jour prints and Marie Antionette-inspired ruffled off the shoulder mini dresses all feature in this fun and feminine collection. The collection incorporates rescued textiles sourced via SHEIN's partnership with Queen of Raw, a global circular economy technology company whose flagship software, Materia MX, specialises in solving supply chain's excess inventory issues for the world's Fortune 500. "I have always resonated with the idea that my designs can become attainable to a wider audience, so when the opportunity to partner with SHEIN presented itself, it felt like I was able to turn this vision into reality," said Alice. "A highlight for me was that, for the first time in my two decades as a designer, I have been able to work with rescued fabrics and have also used recycled polyester in this collection. "The styles feel fresh, elevated, easy to wear and obviously Alice," she added. The collection leverages SHEIN's industry-leading on-demand production model, for ultra-small batch production, and gauges market response in real-time, scaling production only if necessary. This approach minimises production waste at the source and reduces excess inventory. "We are always identifying ways to bring customers more of what they love. Alice McCall's flirty, feminine collection, coupled with her use of preferred materials, such as rescued fabric, will hit the mark for many customers around the world," said SHEIN's spokesperson. The SHEIN x Alice McCall collection will launch on Thursday 16 November in Australia and New Zealand. Prices range from $15 for a bralette to $120 for a dress and are available at https://au.shein.com/campaigns/sheinxalicemccall
