Sustainable apparel and accessories brand Reformation and Ambercycle, a manufacturer of circular, decarbonized materials for world-leading brands, partnered to create a collection featuring cycora, Ambercycle’s regenerated polyester. The Reformation Lucelia dress is just one standout design from the collection made with cycora.
This ongoing collaboration between Reformation and Ambercycle aligns with the sustainable fashion retailer's ambitions of becoming circular by 2030. “Through cycora, Ambercycle is helping brands like Ref bring closed-loop garments to the market," says Kathleen Talbot, chief sustainability officer and VP of operations at Reformation, "This is an especially important step forward for circular fashion when you consider that more than half of global fiber production is composed of fossil fuel derived synthetics like polyester and, at present, nearly all of it ends up in landfill after its first life.”
