Guest - Rifò

Rifò is a B Corp and an emerging brand of clothes and accessories. Thanks to a mechanical and craftsmanship process developed in the textile district of Prato they are able to turn fabric leftovers and old clothes into new garments with identical qualities to the original products. This method allows us to recycle textile waste and sensibly reduce the amount of water, dyes and chemical products used in the production. Their mission is to create a fashionable and high-quality garment line made entirely in Prato with 100% recycled and recyclable fibers.
