Outsiders Division

Spain · Est. 2012 · Luxury

Outsiders Division is a European designer streetwear label for men and women, founded in Barcelona in 2012 by David Méndez Alonso. Méndez started the brand because he was tired of seeing the same old things in fashion, where everything felt generic. What began as an idea to create something different became a project to challenge the norm, and one of his biggest goals was to make the brand inclusive, with gender-neutral clothing for all ages. The range covers knitwear, tees, tanks, shirts, shorts, skirts, jackets and statement dresses, plus caps and scarves, known for playful colour, bold graphics and slogans. Signature pieces include sweaters such as Midnight Call, Plastic Bouquet and Star Social Club, the Antoine Shirt, the Unlicensed Athlete Tee and the Business Department jacket. Everything is designed in Barcelona and made mainly in Spain and Portugal. Most collections use organic cotton, including nearly all of its knitwear and 70% of its jackets, and it uses recycled polyester where possible. It works in small batches with partners that ensure fair wages and safe working conditions, so its artisans are not overburdened or rushed. Outsiders Division sells through its own online store.

HAUS LABEL

USA · Est. 2022 · Mid-range

HAUS LABEL is a minimalist American activewear label for women, founded in New York in 2022 by Karina Trofimova. The brand was born from Haus Agency, the Lower East Side showroom and brand development firm Trofimova started in 2018, after a friend complimented an outfit she wore for a bike ride and cocktails. It offers timeless pieces for the active, outfit-repeating woman who values simplified decision making but understands the power of expressing herself through style. The core collection includes tops, bodysuits, bike shorts, leggings, capris, micro mini skirts, bikini tops and briefs that translate from day to night, from Pilates to work and from a bike ride to dinner with friends. Pieces are ethically made in Latvia, Trofimova's home country, at a factory she has visited many times. The brand uses Italian nylon made from recovered ocean waste and post-consumer plastic bottles, double lined with sweat-wicking material. Rather than releasing four collections a year, it keeps a core range and adds new colourways only when needed. HAUS LABEL's first collaboration was with model and DJ Gilly Chan, and the brand has been featured by Garmentory and Raydar Magazine.

About recycled brands

Checking Recycled Content

Recycled claims are most useful when they are specific. Look for the percentage of recycled material and what it was made from, such as plastic bottles, fishing nets, textile waste or post-consumer glass. Certifications such as the Global Recycled Standard and the Recycled Claim Standard verify recycled content through the supply chain. In swimwear and activewear, regenerated nylon and recycled polyester are common. Recycled brands should also explain care, since washing synthetic fabrics releases microfibres, and a wash bag or cooler wash can help reduce this. Claims such as 'made with recycled materials' are more meaningful when the percentage is stated.

Giving Materials a Second Life

Making products from recycled materials reduces the need for new raw resources and helps divert waste from landfill and the oceans. Recycled swimwear made from reclaimed fishing nets, for example, turns a serious source of marine pollution into something useful. In beauty, recycled glass, aluminium and plastic packaging cut demand for virgin materials. Recycling is not a complete solution on its own, but combined with good design, long-lasting quality and buying thoughtfully, it is a meaningful way to make fashion and beauty work more efficiently with what already exists.

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean when a brand uses recycled materials?
It means products or packaging are made, at least partly, from materials that have already been used, such as plastic bottles, fishing nets, textile waste, glass or metal. These are processed into new fibres or components, reducing the need for virgin resources. How much recycled content is used varies a lot between products.
What's the difference between pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled?
Pre-consumer recycled material comes from waste created during manufacturing, such as fabric offcuts or production scraps. Post-consumer material has been used by people and then discarded, such as bottles or worn clothing. Both reduce waste, but post-consumer content tackles items that would otherwise end up in landfill or the environment.
Is recycled polyester actually better?
Recycled polyester generally needs fewer virgin resources than new polyester and gives used plastic a second life. It still sheds microfibres when washed and can be hard to recycle again, so it's not a perfect solution. Washing at cooler temperatures and less frequently helps reduce shedding.
Why is recycled swimwear so common?
Swimwear relies on stretchy synthetic fabrics, and regenerated nylon made from waste such as old fishing nets and fabric scraps can offer similar performance to new nylon. That makes recycled fibres a practical swap for swimwear and activewear, where natural fibres often can't provide the same stretch and durability.
How can I check how much recycled content a product has?
Look for a stated percentage on the product page or label, and ideally a recognised certification that verifies it through the supply chain. Phrases such as made with recycled materials can mean a small proportion, so specific figures from the brand are much more useful than general wording.
How are brands chosen for this list of recycled brands?
From The Labels was set up because smaller brands rarely get seen next to the big names in search. Homegrown and emerging brands register themselves and share the recycled materials they use. Investor backing is fine; acquisition by a large corporation isn't. Look for stated percentages and verified certifications to see how much recycled content a product contains.
Can recycled products be recycled again?
Some can. Glass and aluminium can be recycled repeatedly, while many textiles, particularly blends, are much harder to recycle. Choosing single-material products and checking whether a brand offers take-back schemes makes it more likely that items from the top recycled brands can enjoy another life later.
