- It is unclear whether new textiles are used.
Deadstock requires no additional fibre cultivation. Read more here about whether deadstock is a sustainable solution for the fashion industry.
PACKAGING
ReBELLE provides no information about packaging materials.
WATER USE & CHEMICALS
Since the brand works with vintage and deadstock textiles, this can reduce additional water and chemical use, as no new fibres or fabrics need to be produced.
Whether additional processing steps such as dyeing, printing, or bleaching take place remains unclear.
Without information on the types of fibres used, the risk of microplastic pollution cannot be assessed.
CIRCULAR PRODUCT DESIGN
The company provides no information about materials. Since the brand works with vintage, pre-loved, and deadstock textiles, it is likely that both mono-materials and mixed materials may occur depending on the source material. This is relevant for circularity, as mono-materials are generally easier to sort and recycle, while blended fabrics often complicate recycling.
Using materials from deadstock sources extends the lifespan of existing materials.
No take-back service for end-of-life items is mentioned.
CIRCULAR BUSINESS MODEL
No information is available about a repair service or take-back service. There is also no information about further circular business models such as resale, rental, or officially organised repair programmes.
SUPPLY CHAIN DISTANCE & COMPLEXITY

TRANSPORT
No information is available about transport methods in e‑commerce or in the supply chain.
It is not clear whether animal-derived fibres are also used.
PRODUCT DESIGN
The label produces (kimono) blazers, kimono trench coats, and other upcycled pieces. ReBELLE Antwerp focuses on one-of-a-kind pieces made from vintage and overstock textiles.
SLOW FASHION PROCESSES
ReBELLE works with drops rather than traditional collections, and every piece is a unique item.
PRODUCT TRANSPARENCY
Customers can view the origin of individual products on retailer pages. However, traceability remains limited at this time.
PROCESS TRANSPARENCY
Since ReBELLE Antwerp currently does not have its own website, there is accordingly no product-specific traceability for individual items. A publicly accessible annual report on social or environmental aspects is therefore also not available.
