Ancor Garments transforms second-hand t-shirts into a new upcycled collection
Produce the first eco-responsible collection in series
From the outset, Ancor Garments had a clear direction: to limit its impact as much as possible, using upcycling as the basis for its creations. The brand needed a French textile workshop capable of nimbly accompanying it through the production stages, with a technical and industrialized approach. The challenge: to produce a collection of upcycled garments from recycled textile materials.
Designing an upcycled capsule: from idea to industrial production
Losanje's know-how was involved at every stage of the product creation chain: design, prototyping, cutting and final assembly. The second-hand T-shirts collected by Ancor were sorted and transformed according to a rigorous process to optimize the raw material available. The project also enabled the brand to keep production costs under control, thanks to an industrial model.

Available for pre-order on the Ancor website, this collection is part of a flexible, well-thought-out business model, compatible with the challenges of circularity and rational inventory management. This project also illustrates the ongoing transformation of the fashion industry: more and more brands are now making upcycling their sole manufacturing model. Further proof that industrial upcycling enables responsible, controlled textile production.
