Renēe’s story started when Zoë’s grandfather wanted to throw away some old shirts. The creative fashion technology student thought this was a waste and went to work with them. By combining different shirts, she created a dress. Zoë’s upcycling creations quickly found favour with those around her and from this motivation the brand renēe was born in September 2020. The name refers to the French word renée (reborn) and, like the brand itself, is unisex.
All the clothes are made locally in the renēe atelier in Ghent and a local production atelier. So you can be sure that your dress is made in a completely ethical way! Part of the production takes place at a local, social atelier. The atelier works with people distanced from the labour market.
