ALY UP-CYCLED

Transforming Waste into Works of Art

ALY Upcycled is a pioneering brand committed to sustainability, creating bags and small furniture from upcycled materials. By repurposing scrap leather and discarded denim, ALY Upcycled transforms what would otherwise be waste into beautifully crafted, functional items. Each piece is a unique testament to the brand’s dedication to reducing environmental impact, one item at a time. ALY Upcycled not only offers stylish and durable products but also champions a greener future by reimagining materials that others might overlook. Through innovative design and responsible practices, ALY Upcycled brings new life to the old, merging sustainability with style.

Upcycling Workshop and Donation Drive

These workshops also serve as a platform to receive material donations, giving individuals an opportunity to contribute to our mission of transforming waste into valuable products.

    1. Donation Drop Points: Host a dedicated space where your community can drop off unwanted materials for our artisans to repurpose.
    2. Upcycling Workshops: We bring the expertise of our founder, Bunnie De Guzman, and our Marikina artisans to your institution to encougare crativity within your community through upcycling.
    3. Product Showcases: Feature our unique, handcrafted collections at your location. These showcases educate the public on how "imperfections" like faded colors or patchwork are actually marks of a unique story and a cleaner planet.
