Desigual and Ecoalf, Spanish brands, collaborate to transform their partnership from last year into a new winter collection made from recycled materials.
Last season, Desigual and Ecoalf collaborated to create coats and winter garments from waste and recycled materials. This year, both brands have decided to continue working together to create a new Winter line following the same model. Under the motto “Where the world sees waste, we see an opportunity, we see creativity”.
Desigual was born over 30 years ago as a brand that transformed used jeans into patch jackets. Since then, they have worked to improve their techniques and achieve unique and durable garments with sustainability and social responsibility in mind.
On the other hand, Ecoalf is a Spanish brand that has been recycling marine waste for 10 years to turn it into sneakers and garbage into fashion products. Using their raw materials: recycled plastic bottles, nylon, wool, and cotton, recycled tires… they create pellets, which are then turned into filament, then into fabric, and finally into garments and accessories.
Reuse is the path to sustainability, and both Desigual and Ecoalf are clear about this. Mixing already-made garments, changing the colors of jacket sleeves, and using upcycled denim hoods are some of the novelties of their new line. The result? A Fall-Winter collection, with 500 exclusive units, available online.
A sustainable Fall-Winter collection
This new Fall-Winter line features the long “rethink” coat, a piece made from recycled polyester, recycled fibers, and with an urban style. The colors are a combination of black and green, alternating one color on the body and another on the sleeves and hood. There are 100 units available.

We also find the short jacket, made with recycled materials and utilizing textile waste. Unlike the long jacket, this garment brings a surprise: two detachable and interchangeable hoods. The first one is made from used denim and is unique, no two are alike. The second hood is quilted, just like the coat. There are 100 limited units of each color available: white, black, and red.

The accessories offered by the collection are a reversible bob designed by Ecoalf made from recycled materials. Then we have a black backpack made of recycled nylon, waterproof, and a blue backpack with a high percentage of recycled polyester. And finally, some sneakers are made from recycled polyester.

The shared concern for the sustainability of the planet
Javier Goyeneche, president and founder of Ecoalf, affirms that:
Reducing environmental impact is everyone’s responsibility. That is why alliances between companies that are part of the fashion industry are fundamental to continue advancing towards a model that allows sustainable fashion production.
Both Spanish brands aim to promote a fashion production model that is respectful of people and our planet. For this reason, they are committed to creating sustainable lines and focus their business model on social responsibility.
