ReCreate never intended to be a clothing brand. It began as an idea to provide fair employment for women in a marginalised community of Cambodia.
ReCreate’s founder, Erica Gadsby, recognised this need while volunteering there, and upon returning to NZ began making plans to start a sewing workshop.
Today, the ReCreate team provides opportunities for training and personal development within their Dey Tmey workshop and through their production partners in Cambodia, empowering people to provide for themselves, their families and their futures.

But it doesn’t stop here. Recreate clothing is fully circular, beginning with conscious design and using quality organic, natural fabrics and trims that are easier to recycle. The next step is to ReLove and RePair wherever possible — helping to give clothing a second life with a new home, or thoughtful mending. And once a garment finally reaches the end of its life, you can ReCycle it. Through their partnership with The Circular Cotton Collective, they utilise a recycling technology that breaks down the fibres to make new yarns for fabric production — closing the loop on the garment industry.
In fact, almost every aspect of how ReCreate does business has been carefully considered and regularly reviewed and we are so excited to have this amazing brand in store! Not only for their philosophy, but for their beautifully versatile, wearable, quality garments that feel as good as they look x 🌱💕
