BYBORRE launches 'Mission:Failed' to challenge the textile industry's disposable trend

In an era where a continuous and growing stream of clothing is discarded into landfills globally, BYBORRE takes a stand against the prevailing disposable trends in the textile industry. Introducing 'Mission:Failed', BYBORRE reframes the narrative surrounding textile projects that may have missed the mark, transforming them into opportunities for positive impact. In a world dominated by fast fashion, BYBORRE aims to repurpose and upcycle unsuccessful textile endeavors, providing them a renewed purpose.

Mission:Failed is not just a project; it's a principled response to the mounting issue of waste in the textile industry. Rather than allowing failed textile projects to contribute to environmental degradation, BYBORRE breathes life into them, aligning with its commitment to sustainability and responsible creation.

From rejected designs to surplus materials, each product within Mission:Failed tells a story of resilience and transformation. This initiative is more than an acknowledgment of imperfection; it's a unique statement against wasteful practices and a call for a more sustainable and conscious approach to textiles.

The launch of Mission:Failed includes three initially featured products, all with distinctive stories. The first offering comprises 300 'failed' Hoodies originally intended for forward-thinking fashion brand Vollebak, but rejected due to optical quality concerns. Typically, this entire batch would meet its demise in the current textile industry landscape. However, BYBORRE, with consent from Vollebak, rebrands these Hoodies as Mission:Failed products, demonstrating their collaborative commitment to sustainable principles.

The second set contains 130 hoodies and 60 blankets, made from textiles designed by multidisciplinary scientist and fermentation expert Jason White. Both perfectly fine products that never reached the market due to the bankruptcy of the company behind their creation. Mission:Failed adheres to a clear ground rule—rebranding and openly acknowledging the failure while offering these products to consumers.

The project aims to be self-sufficient, covering the additional expenses and material costs incurred in repurposing these textiles. BYBORRE embraces fair pricing, ensuring that consumers can participate without compromising affordability.

BYBORRE has partnered with NTWRK, a live video shopping platform, to showcase and sell Mission:Failed products. This innovative retail approach combines e-commerce with live streaming video, allowing real-time interaction between sellers and shoppers.
