A conscious approach to fashion production
“The concept of Revision Society goes beyond the beauty and function of the physical objects we create,” says Frank Manière, co-founder of the new London-based studio that makes hand-made products from factory off-cuts.

Revision Society’s ethos is to place the provenance of its products at the heart of everything it does. The founders want to address the fact that 15% of materials are wasted in mainstream fashion production processes, rather than obsess over the latest material or textile trends.

“It’s about a mode of being, a way of constantly questioning, improving, seeking answers and a commitment to trying harder,” explains Manière.

The move taps into the new millennial values Protein recently investigated in The Slow Report, which showed that radical transparency in production, coupled with a sustainable approach are key to today’s fashion consumer.

It also doesn’t hurt that the first project by Revisioning is unisex, in a deliciously-muted colour palette and beautifully made. The backpack can double as a tote, is constructed out of satisfyingly rough wool and cotton, and has handles made out of vegetable-dyed leather trims.

All the materials were salvaged from a luxury menswear factory in East London, and to drive the provenance message home the studio has hand-stamped and hand-numbered each and every one of its products. Get your limited-edition rucksack from the Revision Society store now.
