Vagabond Reborn the brands first close the product loop collection

Vagabond has also been committed to reducing the amount of waste that it produces and finding a new purpose for shoes that are ready for reuse and recycling. In the first half of 2020, it launched its first mini collection of recycled post-consumer soles ‘Vagabond Reborn’ made with outsoles made from a rubber-mix consisting of 50 percent old used

Vagabond shoes from the Shoe Bring Back programme. As part of this first attempt to close the product loop, 120 pairs of shoes were presented and sold through its online store.

Overall, 2020 is described as the “next step” to further engage all departments and divisions on its sustainability journey and has allowed the footwear brand to identify impact areas and actions needed, such as further strengthening its list of restricted substances by having internal chemical training.
