Joining hands to promote Recycling and Social Inclusion

In collaboration with Rhys Workshop, a local social enterprise, on the concept of “ReMUJI”, MUJI has launched the new “Remade” series, which calls for environmental protection and sustainable development through upcycling of recycled clothes and leftover fabrics, and integrating the concept of recycling into daily lives.

At the same time, we hope to take this opportunity to help promote social inclusion and support the creation of more employment opportunities for the underprivileged.

    Remade Series: Giving New Life to Old Fabrics

    The Rhys Workshop team creates the patchwork series from recycled, washed clothes. Each piece is sorted by hand, with fabrics selected and matched to their material traits—texture, weight, and tone. The reusable portions are cut with care and reinforced by ironing, then sewn manually with care to ensure lasting quality. Behind these simple products is a complex production process. Each product embodies the creativity of the team, their insistence on quality, and their dedication. Through their skillful hands, the goal of recycling resources is realized, while at the same time realizing the value of environmental protection and social integration.

      Thoughtful Design with Social Responsibility

      Rhys Workshop, established in 2018, is dedicated to a people-centered approach. The workshop employs grassroots women and individuals with physical or mental challenges, forming the Community Garment Workshop. Tasks such as handcrafting, sewing and home-based work are allocated based on their skills and family situations. Through trainings, flexible hours, and steady opportunities, Rhys Workshop fosters independence and confidence, allowing their strengths to shine. The ReMUJI upcycling collaboration project was also made possible by the participation and contribution of the members of the Community Garment Workshop.

      To broaden its reach, Rhys Charity Limited has been set up, which has successfully become a recognized charitable organization. This move has opened pathways to new collaborations and resources to create greater and more sustainable social benefits together with all walks of life.
