• UPCYCLING IS BETTER THAN RECYCLING.
  • NOW YOU KNOW.
WE LOVE OUR TRASH
Like the wolves of Yellowstone,
We are here to upend the wasteful fashion ecosystem.
Starting a cascade of environmental change. 
Creating a positive feedback loop.
All it takes is a shift in perspective.
Small changes, big impacts.
And we are bringing big names to the table.
It can be done. 
These complex problems don’t need complex solutions. 
Simple, beautiful designs that Reverse the System.

The name Rewilder comes from the wolves of Yellowstone National Park. They grey wolf was reintroduced to the Yellowstone ecosystem in 1995, after being hunted and killed off in the 1930's, sixty years earlier. The presence of these wolves triggered a cascade effect among the plants and animals - rebounding beavers, healthy willow trees, a new and healthy direction for the river and riparian ecosystem, many more songbirds and fish, and effects still to be discovered. Rewilding is returning areas of land to a wild state, re-introducing things back to their natural habitat. We see our job as modern Rewilders - returning trash into the system and creating loops instead of lines, all in an effort to heal our ecosystem. The effects will be felt for years to come.
