the why ✶

Wear
the change

Fashion doesn’t have to start from scratch. We start from your favourite shirts.

how it started

Shirts are stories

[RE]TUMIA™ is a sustainability initiative turning used sports shirts into new, stylish creations — reducing textile waste one stitch at a time. Each piece carries the memories of the shirt it came from.

What we stand for

Less waste

Every piece keeps a shirt out of the landfill and in play.

One of one

Cut and stitched by hand, so no two pieces are the same.

Local hands

Made in Kenya, supporting local makers and communities.

New drops, stitching videos and shirts with a past — sustainably, of course.
