Welcome to Rimagined, a full-fledged manufacturing venture focussed on creating handcrafted, repurposed and upcycled goods. Since 2016, we’ve been driven by our passion towards building a culture of conscious consumption and encouraging consumers to switch to more sustainable product options, which is the need of the hour. Located in India, we employ talented women and local artisans to use handcrafting methods to repurpose varied waste materials into innovatively designed products. All this is done under ethical work conditions and fair wages. In addition to the love and support that we continually earned from the community, the awards and recognitions we’ve received from noted organisations is indeed an additional feather in our cap.

Important terms related to upcycling

Handcrafted

The word handcrafted refers to making something skilfully by hand. Handmade is another word for handcrafted as its meaning is the same, and therefore used interchangeably. In the same vein, handloom is a textile loom that is machine for weaving cloth, but is hand operated.

Patchwork Designs

Patchwork design is one of the techniques used in handcrafting products. This method is mainly used for textiles and fabrics. Here, patches of fabrics are cut into different colours, arranged in an attractive pattern and stitched by hand. A good example of this is the patchwork quilt.

Sustainable

The word sustainable points to the use of naturally available materials, products and energy sources in such a manner that it does not cause the environment any harm.

Vegan Products

Products that are made from raw materials that do not contain any animal ingredients or animal-derived ingredients can be termed as vegan products. Example: Cotton (Vegan) Vs Silk (Not vegan).

Zero Waste

The very basic meaning of this term is a situation where no waste is produced. It is a movement in itself focussing on processes that prevent waste generation and support the need for redesigning life cycles where all products can be reused. The key goal of the zero waste movement is to prevent trash being dumped in landfills, burned in incinerators or thrown in the ocean.

Rubber

Also known as vegan leather, we create a mix of everyday essential bags and pouches crafted from rubber of inner tyre tubes. Being a natural material, rubber can be easily upcycled into vanity cases, ladies wallets, laptop sleeves, tote bags and mobile slings.

Textiles

Cotton and denim are the two chief textile materials that we work with. We use cotton sarees to upcycled them into durries for bags, throws or upholstery for furniture. Denim being a rough and tough fabric is transformed into backpacks, tote bags, tablet sleeves and laptop sleeves as well as bed covers and aprons.

Wood

We use discarded wood scrap sourced from wood factories that generate a ton of wood waste. We use this waste creatively into something meaningful and purposeful like an ottoman stool.

Yarn

A versatile fabric as it is, we use leftover yarn to craft floor rugs, cotton-yarn stoles, and handloom sarees.
