DS Shop

Redress alumnus and Hong Kong designer Eric Wong selected shirts and denim items unfit for reuse, collected from the Redress Takeback Programme. He transformed these materials into unique, one-of-a-kind upcycled bears, giving new life to the fabrics. Since participating in the Redress Design Award Hong Kong 2011, Eric has continued to develop his sustainable womenswear and menswear brand, Absurd Laboratory, in which he creates non-trend led collections by up-cycling off-cuts and end-of-roll textiles sourced from manufacturers in Mainland China as well as post-consumer garments. Eric has a longstanding collaboration with Hong Kong’s local vintage retail store, Midwest Vintage.
