The Refindery – Sustainable Clothing Brand

The Refindery is a concept thrift brand focused on sustainability, community, and storytelling through clothing. Each donated item is embedded with an RFID chip that connects to an app, allowing customers to see an item’s journey—who has worn it, where it’s been, and how it’s been loved. Inspired by my passion for thrifting, the brand encourages re-wearing, reduces fast fashion waste, and creates a more personal connection between people and their clothes. I developed the full brand identity, including its earthy, homey aesthetic and a tagging system inspired by travel luggage to reflect each piece’s journey.
