Our process

From dormant products to positive-impact objects

From collection to delivery of upcycled finished products, we orchestrate all or part of the value chain as part of a controlled circular chain.
STEP 1
Analysis & co-design

We work with you to understand your needs (quantities, uses, constraints, CSR objectives, etc.).

Our design office analyzes an initial sample of your textile products, and works with you to devise the most appropriate transformation options.

STEP 2
Prototyping & collection

Once we have validated the directions, we collect the material directly from your premises.

Our stylists and model-makers develop the prototypes, which we refine together until they are approved.

Cutting takes place in our upcycling factory in Nevers, and mass production is carried out by our audited partners in France and Europe.

Your upcycled products are delivered to you ready for use (sales, distribution, endowments, etc.).

"We called on Losanje to produce backpacks designed from pants collected at sorting centers. The experience was seamless, the process very clear, with a real educational approach to environmental impact. Our employees were delighted to receive a meaningful, useful and committed product. A very fine project, both human, ecological and symbolic."

Denis Jaillard
Purchasing Manager

"For our project to enhance the Olympic Games 2024 communications media spread across the MEL territory, we worked with Losanje and Résilience on the design of upcycled textile products. Their professionalism, creativity, patience and responsiveness were decisive in creating possibilities beyond our expectations. The result lives up to our ambitions: beautiful, heritage-bearing products that are consistent with our ecological commitments and perfectly integrated into our responsible purchasing policy."

Michel Dao
Buyer

"The collaboration with Losanje has been a complete success. It all started with a study of our old products, in particular basketball jerseys from previous seasons. Within a few weeks, design boards were proposed, a 360° reflection was carried out, right up to the release of a capsule collection. The T-shirts sold out in a week. It's rare to see such responsiveness and relevance at all levels - creation, production, and storytelling."

Clément Cadiou
Retail Manager Merchanding

"We carried out one of our most ambitious textile recycling projects with Losanje: more than 5 tonnes of customer service vests were transformed into kits for distribution to the agents themselves. Much more than a recycling operation, it was a gesture of transmission, an object of memory, carrying meaning for those who embody our relationship with the public on a daily basis. All with a measurable environmental impact: several thousand kilos of CO2 avoided, millions of liters of water saved. Losanje was able to support us with great rigor and sensitivity on this emblematic project."

FAQs

What is textile upcycling?

Textile upcycling, or overcycling, consists in transforming existing garments, textiles or materials into new, higher-value products, without destroying the material. It's an alternative to new production, reducing environmental impact while adding value to obsolete textile products (second-hand, unsold, defective, etc.).

What products can be created through textile upcycling?

Our textile upcycling solutions make it possible to create a wide variety of garments and accessories, using your own materials or materials sourced by our teams:

  • Clothing & capsules: upcycled pieces, collections, creative collaborations.
  • Accessories: bags, clutches, cases, responsible fashion accessories.
  • Decoration & furnishings: covers, cushions, curtains, textile signage elements.
  • Communication & events: eco-responsible goodies, event t-shirts, sustainable communication accessories.
  • Uniforms & workwear: upcycled work clothes, aprons, professional equipment

Each project is unique and developed according to your specific needs and brand universe. Please feel free to request our catalog via the contact form.

What materials do you use to create your upcycled products?

We work either from our customers' own materials, or from a bank of recyclable materials sourced by our teams from partner sorting centers.

All our textiles are carefully selected according to their composition, quality and condition.

The materials we use most often:
- Blue or black denim
- T-shirts (white, gray, black or colored)
- Sweatshirts (various weights and colors)
- PVC tarpaulins (black, white or colored)
- Your own material: textile stocks, uniforms, your company's own offcuts...

We choose each material according to the product to be created, to ensure a high-quality, long-lasting finish.

I don't have any material, can I still work with you?

Yes.

If you don't have the material, we can source recyclable textiles for you through our partners (denim, T-shirts, sweatshirts, tarpaulins...).

We then build up a deposit adapted to the product you want to develop.

What information do I need to start a project with Losanje?

To properly frame a textile upcycling project, we need a few essential elements:

  • Type of products required (clothing and/or accessories)
  • The quantity envisaged
  • Available budget

This information enables us to define together the feasibility of the project and to adapt the proposal to your needs.
