Luxury meets sustainability in Luxarity’s Made in Love fashion pop-up
Proceeds of the event, which features curated items donated by community and limited-edition upcycled items, will fund Asia-focused Hong Kong creatives
A sustainability-focused pop-up shop “Made In Love” – selling a curated collection of cut-price luxury fashion clothes donated by the community to fund fashion design graduates – ends its two-week Hong Kong stay on Saturday.
The pop-up at 15, St Francis Street, Wan Chai, featuring interiors created by Hong Kong students, is also offering four stunning designer capsule collections of 100 limited-edition items.
The social venture behind the pop-up, LUXARITY – formed by international fashion industry experts, textile and garment makers, schools, universities and other organisations – aims to sell vintage luxury goods and upcycled capsule collections to help build a community that is focused on sustainability and innovation.
Cristina Ventura, founder of LUXARITY, who is also chief catalyst officer at the Lane Crawford Joyce Group, says: “We believe that innovation and sustainability are core to the future of the creative industry.
“LUXARITY is passionate about promoting [a] conscious lifestyle and sharing with our local community how changes in the way we consume can have a meaningful impact globally.”
Proceeds from the Made in Love pop-up will provide educational grants for Asia-focused creative minds and designers, who use cutting-edge fashion technologies and are focused on innovation and sustainable product development.
