Recycled Jacket Programs

The Lolë Yellow Label Program Gives Life to Gently Used Jackets

— October 18, 2018 — Fashion
The temperatures are dropping as the colder seasons take over and Lolë prepares by kicking off its Yellow Label program. This essentially revives the use of jackets that have been gently used, acting as a jacket drive that happens annually. This program runs throughout different local communities all across North America in hopes of encouraging responsible fashion consumption while giving warmth through the colder seasons.

The Yellow Label program follows a simple three-step process -- first customers bring any outerwear pieces to the nearest Lolë retail location between October 11th to November 11th this year, Lolë will then professionally dry-clean the donated items and resell them at a pop-up location located in downtown Montreal. The third and final process is the donation of resale profits towards local food banks all across the U.S. and Canada. To thank customers for donating their gently used outerwear, Lolë will be giving a $50 CAD discount to purchase a Lolë coat.
Trend Themes
1. Responsible Fashion Consumption - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable clothing rental platforms that allow consumers to access designer jackets and outerwear for a fraction of the cost.
2. Circular Economy - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform that connects individuals who want to donate their gently used jackets with those in need, fostering a community-driven approach to clothing redistribution.
3. Socially Conscious Retail - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop online marketplaces that exclusively feature brands and retailers committed to sustainable and ethical practices, enabling consumers to easily make responsible purchasing decisions.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Retail - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace technology and AI to personalize and optimize the shopping experience, making sustainable fashion more accessible to a wider range of consumers.
2. Textile Recycling - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invest in research and development to create advanced textile recycling technologies that can efficiently and cost-effectively turn old jackets into new materials.
3. Food Banks - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement blockchain technology to improve transparency and accountability in food distribution, ensuring that profits from resale go directly towards supporting local food banks.
