A unique story of renewal

A unique story of renewal

At Prelo, we believe fashion and responsibility can go hand in hand.
Our tote bags are a celebration of creativity, sustainability, and opportunity — crafted entirely from 🌸 fabric scraps and discarded clothing that would have otherwise ended up in landfills.

Each Prelo tote tells a story of renewal. ♻️
No new material is used — except for the thread that holds it together.
These bags carry not only your essentials but also the values of conscious consumption and social impact.

Giving new life to old fabrics

Every Prelo tote is born from fabric that has already lived a life — and carries its own story forward. 👕 Our shirt totes, crafted from men’s and women’s shirts that can no longer be worn, preserve charming details like collars, buttons, and pockets — each adding a whisper of its past life to your everyday style. No two pieces are ever the same, making every bag a true one-of-a-kind. 👖 Our denim totes, upcycled from worn-out jeans and shorts, celebrate the strength and character of denim — rugged, durable, and effortlessly stylish. Each fade, stitch, and patch reflects the spirit of transformation — showing how discarded materials can be reborn into timeless, purposeful fashion. Together, these totes embody Prelo’s belief that every fabric deserves a second chance — and every bag has a story worth carrying. 🌿

Crafted with Purpose and Fairness

Every Prelo tote bag is hand-stitched by college students who are part of vocational training programs. These students attend classes during the day and stitch in the evenings to support their education. By providing them fair wages for their work, we aim to empower them with financial independence and confidence, helping them pursue IT and other professional careers in the future. Through this initiative, each bag contributes not only to a cleaner planet but also to a brighter future for young changemakers.

Sustainable Impact

Our tote bags have an exceptionally low impact on the planet:
- No new fabric is produced — saving water, energy, and emissions associated with textile manufacturing.
- Discarded materials are kept out of landfills.
- Youth empowerment is built into every product.

Each Prelo tote is more than just a bag — it’s a conscious choice for sustainability, creativity, and community upliftment.
