Our Story

re is a Toronto-based sustainable fashion brand founded by Lisa Tse. Inspired by timeless classics, Lisa creates clothing and accessories using an eco-friendly design process devoted to reclaiming and repurposing textiles. Vintage clothing is reworked into contemporary pieces that become an expression of the past, present and future. Unloved materials, leftover fabric and dead stock are collected and upcycled into refined styles that are cherished by eco-conscious people. Striking a balance between desirability and practicality, re’s tailored approach to sportswear is designed to be reworn season after season. 

Our Founder

Lisa Tse's journey into sustainable fashion merges deep expertise with a commitment to environmental care. Educated in Fashion Design at Ryerson University, she gained invaluable experience working directly with local couturiers and designers, honing her skills in tailoring and garment construction. This hands-on work, alongside design roles for major retailers, shaped her understanding of womenswear and sustainable practices.

This extensive background laid the groundwork for Re, a brand that embodies Lisa's vision for sustainable fashion. Moving beyond the industry's fast-paced cycle, she focuses on creating timeless pieces that advocate for the slow fashion movement. Lisa's approach is not just about making clothes; it's about fostering a more thoughtful and sustainable relationship with our wardrobes.

Our Purpose

re is ethically-made in Toronto, Canada by a small team of skilled pattern makers and seamstresses. Each style is made in limited quantities using repurposed materials, sustainable fabrics, and locally-sourced textiles. Vintage clothing is hand selected from vintage wholesalers, and reinvented into modern garments. Through this process, re works to prolong the textiles’ longevity. 

re strives to use minimal water and energy, and produce the least possible amount of textile waste in the making of all collections. However, there will always be some leftover fabric after cutting out patterns. Any excess fabric is collected in a bin and then donated to local toy makers, quilters and schools for further use. re is also advocating with city counsellors to develop a local textile waste recycling program to divert factory textile waste from the landfill.

From start to finish, re consciously creates clothing and accessories that are respectful of people and the planet.
