ANNA MASIELLO & YASMIN MEDEIROS
Lisbon, Portugal

Anna and Yasmin are Italian and Brazilian young women passionate about sustainability. They love challenges and try to make anything a little more fun. R-Coat uses the fabric of broken umbrellas, a non-recyclable material, to create beautiful garments. They are inspired by the fun vibes and colors of their home countries, Italy and Brazil, and by the functionality of the northern design. For them, the future of fashion is circular. The biggest luxury will be contributing to a greener and more sustainable world through what we wear.

You might wonder...

How does the production of R-Coat products work?

R-Coat has a small scale and handmade production. The broken umbrellas come from one of our many collection points and their fabric is prepared (cut, washed and ironed) by the team members in Lisbon, where quality control and shipping also take place. The deadstock fabric for the lining comes from the Portuguese textile factory Tetribérica and the sewing is done in a small atelier outside of Lisbon by a team of 5 seamstresses.

How to care for R-Coat products?

To make your R-Coat product last as long as possible and preserve its beauty, we recommend a cold wash (30º) and not bleach, tumble dry or dry clean.
