ZIMMERMANN X (RED)
INTRODUCING OUR COLLABORATION WITH (RED)
We are pleased to announce our collaboration with (RED), an organization dedicated to the fight against AIDS. Founded in 2006 by Bono and Bobby Shriver, (RED) partners with brands and individuals worldwide to create products and experiences that raise money, heat, and urgency for global health crises.
Together, we've created the ZIMMERMANN X (RED) Summer Set, including a classic beach tote and pareo. One hundred percent of the proceeds of every set will be donated to support (RED)'s efforts in bringing life-saving healthcare programs to women and girls in communities most in need. The ZIMMERMANN X (RED) pareo is constructed from a soft, light-weight cotton, perfect for Summer days at the beach. Crafted from recycled cotton canvas, the ZIMMERMANN X (RED) tote embodies our commitment to sustainability it’s made from 60% recycled pre-consumer linen and 40% cotton, it is sourced from our excess fabrics.
We opt to recycle fabrics that carry distinctive prints and patterns, that are typically unsuitable for direct reuse. By using unique machines, these fabrics were shredded and returned to their fibre state for spinning into new yarn. Through the utilization of recycled fibres, we have tapped into existing materials and reduced the environmental impact that can result from the production of new textiles, such as the impact of greenhouse gas emissions, intensive water use and pollution.
The Summer Set is exclusively available online at zimmermann.com.
