# Limited Vinyl Clothing Capsules Courregès' 'Fin de Plastique' Marks the Brand Phasing Out Plastic By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-09-27 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/courregs-fin-de-plastique References: [vogue](https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/courreges-fin-du-plastique#4) & [courreges](https://www.courreges.com/) Courregès' Fin de Plastique capsule is made up of a mix of the brand's Fall 2018 pieces, as well as others brought back from the brand's archive, all of which help to bring awareness to the fact that the brand is reducing its stockpile of vinyl and moving away from the use of this plastic material. While the brand is renowned for its use of this material, the capsule and a pop-up are helping to make a statement about the brand ending its use of plastics. Each piece in the Fin de Plastique capsule is stamped with a number to indicate the reduced stockpile of vinyl and bring attention to wasteful practices in the world of fashion.
