Used clothes take-back service
Your wool or cashmere sweaters and denim trousers can be recycled through our take-back service and become new clothes by Rifò.
Come funziona?
1° step
Controlla l'etichetta
Verifica che i capi abbiano una composizione pura. Tolleriamo fino al 5% di un secondo materiale (quindi 95% lana o cashmere + 5% cashmere o lana, mentre nel caso del jeans, 95% cotone + fino al 5% di qualsiasi altra fibra).
2° step
Scegli una modalità di invio
Hai due possibilità: per mandarci i tuoi vestiti usati puoi prenotare il ritiro a casa a nostre spese con corriere (inviando MINIMO 5 capi) compilando il form qui sotto o cercare il punto di raccolta più vicino a te dalla mappa che trovi in questa pagina.
3° step
Ricevi uno sconto
Ogni piccolo gesto merita di essere valorizzato. Con ogni invio ottieni un buono sconto del 20% da spendere sul nostro shop online su un ordine minimo di 50€. I buoni non sono cumulabili tra di loro in un singolo ordine e con altri codici.
Riceverai un codice sconto a gesto e non in base a quanti capi consegni. 1 invio = 1 codice sconto.

What happens after used clothing collection?
We have joined forces in our area to create a circular, sustainable and local model, which follows these steps:
• The used clothing delivered to our collection boxes arrives in Bologna, at the social cooperative La Fraternità.
• Here they are selected to be revalued as second-hand clothes through the network of second-hand shops AND Circular.
• If this is not possible, they are included in the recycling process which takes place in Prato, a few kilometers from our headquarters.
A yarn locally recycled in Prato, Tuscany
Once selected by the La Fraternità social cooperative, wool, cashmere and jeans return to Prato, to the companies in our textile district that deal with recycling, to be selected by color and composition before being recycled without the need for a new high-impact dye.
In the case of jeans, the recycled material is then transformed by
Likewise, the material that comes from old wool and cashmere sweaters is transformed into a new yarn by Filpucci Spa, a historic Prato spinning mill and our supplier for the creation of new sustainable garments and accessories in recycled wool and cashmere.
