Italian fashion house Gucci has unveiled the first collection from its circular lines, Gucci Off The Grid, which has been designed by creative director Alessandro Michele using recycled, organic, bio-based and sustainably sourced materials. The collection, which will be exclusively sold on Farfetch for the first two weeks alongside Gucci’s website, features genderless luggage, accessories, footwear and ready-to-wear, as part of the fashion house’s vision for circular production.
The main material used for the “mindful” collection is a 100 percent regenerated nylon created from recycled Econyl yarn made from nylon offcuts and pre-and post-consumer waste, including abandoned fishing nets and carpets. The recycled, sustainably sourced material literally transforms plastics that harm marine life and old materials that will likely end up in landfills into a new high-quality thread. Other components of Gucci Off The Grid are made from recycled materials and more sustainable alternatives such as metal-free tanned leather, recycled polyester thread and linings, recycled brass, recycled gold and palladium hardware coating, and solvent-free adhesives.
Throughout the collection, Gucci revisits its iconic GG logo, but this time it’s made of 100 percent regenerated polyamide and it can be seen across backpacks, a duffle bag, a belt bag, a mini bag, as well as a shoulder bag, high top sneakers, baseball cap and a tote bag in bold orange and yellow colours, as well as black. There are also a number of ready-to-wear products including jackets, trousers, and a vest.
