Andrew Won introduces his latest capsule collection made in collaboration with Arc'teryx Toronto to celebrate the city's first Care and Repair Service center of the technical fashion label. Won organized a special workshop that highlights sustainability and different ways to practice upcycling and creating a circular life. Part of this collaboration featured the new issue boxes that are made from "worn beyond optimum Arc’teryx garments."
Every single tissue box is made with a paneling construction from the jackets including the label and the GORE-TEX branding at the forefront. Additionally, more details such as the velcro straps, grommets, chest zippers, and more are still intact in the brand new design. Proceeds from the new range will be directed to HanVoice Canada.
