We currently work primarily with reclaimed tyre tubes and textile waste.

Our materials are sourced from places such as vehicle scrapping facilities, industrial maintenance systems and textile factories, where these materials would otherwise be discarded.

Our reclaimed materials come from existing waste streams, including discarded tyre tubes and textile waste from vehicle scrapping facilities, industrial maintenance systems and textile factories.

The primary materials used in our pieces are reclaimed.

Depending on the design, some components such as hardware and lining may be new. Where lining is used, we use recycled polyester lining.

The complete material composition of each product is listed on its individual product page.

The material composition and relevant product information are provided on each product page.

We believe you should know exactly what your piece is made from.

Every ReUp piece begins with reclaimed material that already has a history.

Marks, variations in texture, colour and surface are part of that history. We don't try to erase these characteristics. We design around them.

Because no two pieces of reclaimed material are exactly alike, no two ReUp pieces will ever be completely identical.

The design, hardware and lining remain consistent, while the reclaimed material gives each piece its own character.

Yes.

Marks, texture variations and other natural characteristics are an inherent part of working with reclaimed materials.

They are not imperfections to us. They are part of what makes your ReUp piece yours.

The overall design, construction and details will remain consistent with the product shown online.

However, lighting and photography can affect how colours and textures appear on screen, and some of the subtle characteristics of reclaimed material may not be fully visible in photographs.

Because every piece uses reclaimed material, your piece may have its own unique marks, textures or variations.

Yes.

Reclaimed materials naturally develop character through use. Small changes in texture and surface may occur over time.

We see this as part of the life of the material rather than something to be avoided.

Your ReUp piece isn't designed to remain untouched. It's designed to be lived with.

Because our materials are reclaimed, availability naturally varies.

We also intentionally produce in limited quantities to avoid creating unnecessary dead stock. For us, making responsibly means being thoughtful not only about what materials we use, but also about how much we produce.

Yes, where materials and production availability allow.

Because our products use reclaimed materials, restocks may vary from the original production and individual pieces may have different material characteristics.

ReUp pieces can be cleaned with normal water.

For more specific care instructions, please refer to the care information provided with your product.

If you are unsure about how to treat a particular mark or material, please contact us at info@reupdesign.com before using any cleaning product.

Yes. ReUp materials can be washed with water.

Please follow the specific care instructions provided for your product.

Yes. The reclaimed rubber material used in our products is water resistant.

However, we recommend following the individual product's care instructions to preserve its appearance and longevity.

White marks can occasionally appear on reclaimed rubber.

You can gently treat the surface with a small amount of coconut or olive oil.

If you are unsure, please contact us at info@reupdesign.com before treating the material.

Some pieces made from reclaimed rubber may have a natural rubber scent when new.

This is a characteristic of the material and is not an indication of a defect.

The scent will naturally reduce when the piece is allowed to air. Exposure to heat may cause the scent to become more noticeable again.

Exposure to heat may cause the natural rubber scent to become more noticeable.

We recommend allowing the piece to air naturally if this happens and avoiding prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

Your ReUp piece can be stored normally in a clean, dry place.

If you notice a rubber scent, allow the piece to air in an open space before storing it again.

Small changes and marks can naturally occur with use. If your piece experiences significant damage, please contact us at info@reupdesign.com.

We will assess the issue and advise you on the best next step.

We don't currently offer a standard repair service, but we are exploring ways to support the life of your ReUp piece for longer.

If your piece needs attention, please contact us and we will see how we can help.

We'd rather you ask than guess.

If you have any questions about caring for your ReUp piece, email us at info@reupdesign.com and our team will be happy to help.

ReUp pieces are made using a combination of skilled handwork and manufacturing processes.

ReUp products combine handcraft and other production processes.

Approximately 60% of the making process is completed by hand, depending on the product.

Approximately 60% of the making process is done by hand.

The exact balance can vary depending on the design and construction of each product.

Every ReUp piece goes through multiple stages of inspection throughout the making process.

We check the material, construction, finishing and functional details before each piece leaves our hands.

Because our materials are reclaimed and naturally vary, quality does not mean making every piece identical. It means ensuring that every piece meets the same standards of construction, functionality and finish.

ReUp products are designed by our founders, Lisa and Bhakti, drawing from their backgrounds in textile design, product design, fashion, craft and artisan management.

Yes. Most ReUp products are designed to be gender-neutral.

Yes. Product sizes and available variations are listed on the individual product pages.

Yes. We offer personalisation on selected products.

Personalised pieces are made to order specifically for you.

Please contact us at info@reupdesign.com with your requirements.

We'll discuss the possibilities with you before confirming your order.

No. Personalised and customised products are made specifically for you and are therefore not eligible for return or exchange.

Your ReUp piece will arrive in an upcycled foldable bag and a recycled box.

We have thoughtfully chosen packaging that can continue to be useful beyond your delivery.

We strongly encourage you to reuse the packaging rather than discard it.

Yes.

Our packaging is designed to be reusable and/or recyclable wherever possible.

The foldable bag can be reused long after your ReUp piece arrives.

Yes. Gift packaging is available.

If you'd like your order to be prepared as a gift, please contact us or select the available gift packaging option when placing your order.

We intentionally produce in limited quantities to avoid unnecessary dead stock.

We believe responsible production means thinking carefully about not only the materials we use, but also how much we make.

Because our materials are reclaimed, limited production also allows us to work with what is available rather than creating demand for new materials simply to maintain uniform stock.

Yes, where possible.

Because we work with reclaimed materials, the availability and characteristics of materials can vary between production runs.

A restocked product may therefore have subtle differences in texture, marks or surface from an earlier batch.
