Cahu is a French brand of bags and accessories, driven by the creation of upcycled bags from PVC scraps from the founder's father's Chateaux Gonflables factory.
Collectivo is a new collective upcycling fashion studio dedicated to young designers and based at the Saint-Ouen flea market. The studio collaborates with emerging independent designers from all horizons, to create creative 100% upcycled garments for everyday wear, manufactured in France in small series for the market.
Collectivo is looking for accessory designers to create the next Cahu x Collectivo upcycled capsule collection.
Objective: to imagine upcycled customizations of bags and accessories that are creative, innovative and consistent with the two brands' universes, using defective Cahu bag production and PVC production offcuts.
The selected profiles will have the opportunity to design and prototype one or more customization models, to work with our model makers and our workshop for the launch of mass production, and with the rest of our team for the shooting of their creations and marketing in our boutique and retail networks.
