UPPAREL (formerly known as MANRAGS) is the leader in textile upcycling and the world's first circular essentials brand. We are at the forefront of the circular fashion economy, revolutionising the reuse, repurpose and recycling of textiles.UPPAREL stands for positive impact, progressive change and is aiming to make the textile industry a leader in sustainability. We have been able to prove that sustainability truly equals success and have shown to the textile industry that there is now a solution. Here at UPPAREL, we sort through thousands of products every single day to reuse & UPcycle where possible. The aim is simple: extend product life and redirect textiles from landfill. To date, UPPAREL has saved over 1 MILLION items from landfill and prevented over 400,000kgs of greenhouse gases from polluting the air we breathe.Currently, the majority of the fashion industry is built on a linear system encouraging over-consumption and putting a huge strain on our planet. In order to challenge this, we need to innovate and cultivate a generation of pioneers to want to affect change, and that's where the UPPAREL circular fashion model comes in. Let's move mountains, not make them. The time is now to be a part of changing the fashion industry creating a better world for future generations. Step-UP and make a positive change - with UPPAREL!
