Bellantoni's 'Re.Nu' Project Results in Sustainable Products
Colin Smith — March 4, 2024
The Re.Nu Project is a zero-waste initiative by Bellantoni, a Canadian slow fashion brand that aims to help people dress well while being kind to animals, people, and the planet. The project involves giving new life to textile waste and old clothing through upcycling and using fabric scraps to create unique and sustainable products.
Some of the products offered by the Re.Nu Project include scrunchies, headbands, wraps, and pet beds, all made from recycled or reclaimed fabrics sourced from Bellantoni’s own production or local jobbers. Each product is designed and sewn in Vancouver, at least in part by Bianca Bellantoni, the founder of the brand, who has 10 years of sewing experience and a background in zero-waste design. By purchasing one of the Re.Nu items, customers are helping reduce textile waste while supporting a small, female-owned business.
