Every second in the world burns as many clothes and shoes as one truck can hold. The products of this combustion are very toxic.

According to Greenpeace, the world produces 100 billion items of clothing and footwear annually. The waste of the fashion industry reaches almost 100 million tons.

The brand appeared in August 2021. And there is an environmental plus: parts of old shoes are used to create new ones with almost no carbon footprint, and the rest is completely recycled.

“Old sneakers do not need to be burned as garbage. We show that there is another way out,” says Mitya Hontarenko, founder of PLN-GNS. “And it can be stylish and cool too”

We are showing how recycling old shoes and some part of clothes can create something new and unique.

Thus we recycle old shoes by 100%

Old shoes have their own hue and color, and some pairs have their own history and value.

Like a collage, we take a detailed look at the original product and painstakingly breaks it down by hand into numerous individual pieces, then gives them entirely new shapes and structures.

This is how old sneakers are transformed into new shoes, jackets and pants, which impress with their complex design, cut and architecture.

PLNGNS presents works of art you can wear and shows how sustainability and craftsmanship meet modern fashion.
