The Upcycling Edit is a pyjama collection from sustainable Portuguese brand A-line and it helps to make the most of fabrics from past seasons that would have otherwise gone to waste sitting in storage. There are three different pyjama sets in the collection, each of which has been cut from a striped cotton roll. Those who are familiar with the brand may even recognize the shirts and dresses that used the same fabrics in previous seasons.
The perfectly coordinated shirts, shorts and eye masks from A-line are full of fine details like matching piping and monogramming embroidery. The brand sees this upcycled pyjama product collection as "a celebration of new purposes, meaningful designs and conscious manufacturing."
