value proposition
Trace Collective founders Antonia and Aroa set out to build a brand that drives environmental regeneration in a fully circularly designed model, while appealing to fashion-savvy audience.
With complementary experiences in branding, retail, and social entrepreneurship, the founders select brilliant young designers for each collection to elevate their work and influence their sustainability thinking. The first collection (SS20) has been designed by Clare Payne.
today,
fashion is
one of the most polluting and opaque industries in the world
Fashion produces more greenhouse emissions than shipping and aviation combined.
Fashion is responsible for 20% of industrial water pollution globally.
Fashion uses 98 million tonnes of non-renewable resources annually.
Every second, the equivalent of a truck full of textiles is landfilled or incinerated.
our mission
At its core a social business, Trace Collective was created to reshape the interaction of the fashion industry with the planet and society.
Trace Collective’s driving mission is to produce positive environmental and social impacts. This informs the whole design process and supply chain choices, from textiles to manufacturing.
