Excess Made Good
Refried represents a beautiful solution to the ugly reality of surplus inventory. Through innovative upcycling and design methods, we turn unsalable clothing into stylish and unique apparel and accessories—handcrafted right here in the USA.
We turn fashion waste into fashion-forward products, keeping usable materials out of landfills and incinerators while reducing the need for resource-intensive manufacturing and new materials.
Our design process has no boundaries. We’re inspired by the materials we rescue, allowing creativity to drive the design process. The result is truly unique products with character, purpose, and a story of their own.
At Refried, we’re dedicated to extending the life of existing materials in innovative, responsible, and fashionable ways. Less waste. More creativity. Unique designs. Greener future.
Sustainably yours,
The Refried Team
