Each item in the BEEN London x TATE collection is meticulously handcrafted using repurposed materials, granting them a renewed purpose. The upcycled Tate banners form the primary material, while additional components include zippers made from recycled plastic bottles, AppleSkin—a pioneering material derived from apple waste—and recycled leather.
This thoughtful design not only reduces waste but also showcases the potential of discarded materials when transformed through skilled craftsmanship.
This partnership between BEEN London and Tate highlights the intersection of art and fashion and what can be achieved when two powerhouses within the art world and the fashion industry come together. By repurposing materials from a renowned cultural institution, the collection serves as a tangible representation of integrating art into the fashion industry.
The limited-edition collection is available through the TATE Shop and online platform, offering consumers the opportunity to own a unique piece of art history reimagined into functional accessories.
This collaboration not only provides exclusive products but also supports the broader mission of promoting sustainability in fashion and design.
