After launching the first Wrangler Reborn Collection in 2022, Wrangler is back with a follow-up installment in 2024 that gives new life to discarded denim. This celebration of upcycled denim, circularity and sustainability was created in collaboration with BVH Services’ Beyond Retro brand. Beyond Retro, one of Europe’s largest vintage retailers, is poised to "bring new life to this sustainability initiative," according to Said Vivian Rivetti, Wrangler’s Head of Global Design.
In the upcycled denim collection, classic pieces like the Greensboro Straight Leg Jean, Reworked Short, Icon Jacket and Heritage Shirt received fresh upgrades and an eco-friendly twist.
This limited-edition collection shares denim designs priced between $90 and $180 in line with the WeCare Wrangler goals.
