process work

Re-Nude is a concept for a line of products manufactured from made from recycled, post consumer clothing. The goal of this system is to extend the lifecycle of clothing by replenishing the value lost through changing tastes using a rebrand-ing strategy. Under this system used denim collected from customers at Nudies Jeans Co. will be redesigned, altered and marketed under the Re-Nude brand identity.

customer

When the customers of Nudies Jeans Co. pur-chase any items, they receive a reusable Re-Nude branded bag. The customers can place their used denim in this bag and return it, they would receive store credit in exchange. They will have the option of either mailing the bag with a postage paid marking already applied or taking it to the nearest Nudies Jeans Co store.

At the Re-Nude workshops

the denim material would be recycled

and then redesigned by student & profes-

sional fashion designers. The designs would include jackets, dresses, shirts, jeans, bags and accessories.

All products created in the Re-Nude workshop will be placed the Nudies Re-Nude web site where cus-tomers would be able to view their collections and vote for the designs they prefer most.

Describe the in-store experience

User Benefits

• The in-store credit system allows the customers to renew their wardrobe while spending less and take pride that no materials were wasted in the landfill or shipped to the third world.

• The mail bag with pre-paid post stamps and address will allow customers to mail their used denims directly to our workshops eliminating hassles of carrying around bags full of heavy denim fabrics.

• The in-store experience will be fun and promote locally made products while the web community will allow customers to become involved in the design selection process, and be notified of upcoming product launches.

Environmental Benefits

Re-Nude products create an enclosed circle of consump-tion that is fully sustainable. It will remove any energy attributed to disposal from the equation and use less material and energy to produce because they will not require any raw materials as inputs.

This innovative approach provides options for consum-ers that are not based on reducing consumer activity. It functions to extend the lifecycle of a product by adding value through emotional associations and not through any physical change to the product.

It signifies a lifestyle and culture that customers can build a community around. This brand will give custom-ers a way to express their concern for the environment and still can be stylish.
