Rude awakenings most often serve as a catalyst for change and Reistor's story is no different.

Reistor was created as a result of recognising the compelling need for incorporating sustainability into every aspect of fashion - from sourcing to selling - in an otherwise traditionally run polluting industry.

Reistor is a work in progress. The brand believes that their drive to make a difference will help them navigate their journey to be ethical and impactful. Reistor represents minimalist fashion that is timeless and transformative, without diluting their social and environmental responsibility. The brand's focus is on Reducing Environmental Impact (REI) by using sustainable fabrics like hemp, biodegradable trims, and home compostable packaging.

Reistor is a labor of love and learning. The brand intends to inspire people to make ‘ethical consumption of fashion’ a part of everyday life. The planet needs us all to be and do better. Together, we can reistor.
