An Upcycle Collective
The ReCreators believe that collective business power will help both artistan and consumer alike. By coming together under one brand, our multi-culturally diverse artistans can share their skills, showcase their products, all of which have been lovingly restored, revived or crafted from sustainable materials. Consumers can choose to either learn new skills through workshops, purchase custom made products or purchase from our pre-made selection. All of our workshops and products are priced using the Living Wage as a minimum.
