Branded Royal™

ReMade in Ireland ♻️
#BrandedRoyal

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

This jacket is made from multiple different denims.

Vintage shops. Preloved stores. Donations.

Rebuilt by hand in Dublin.

It walked a runway last night. One of a kind.

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

Sourced from preloved shops. Deconstructed by hand. Now ReMade in Ireland into something that didn’t exist before. Not restored. Not altered. ReMade. Every piece is one of a kind because the material it came from was one of a kind.

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

Before anything is ReMade, it’s taken apart completely. By hand. Every seam. Every panel. We don’t alter garments, we deconstruct them. Because rebuilding properly means understanding exactly how something was originally built.

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

We don’t buy new materials. We source from preloved shops and donations searching for garments with the foundation to become something better.

We don’t alter. We deconstruct. Found it at a flea market. Broke it down completely. Rebuilt it from the inside out for one person specifically. This is Tolu’s jacket. What would it mean to own something made for you?

Coleman makes the case for thrifting over buying new. Better quality. Lower cost. Smaller footprint. Hard to argue with.

D'Angelo in Branded Royal™ upcycled pieces.

Not a photoshoot. Just someone wearing something made from what someone else threw away.

Does it hit different knowing where it came from?

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

We asked D'Angelo why he said yes to Thrift & Talk.

His answer gets at why this series works.

What would make you want to be a guest?

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

Bekah told us what actually inspired her to start thrifting.

It's not what most people expect.

What inspired you or what's your honest reason for not starting yet?

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

Thrifting for Paddy's Day at Bohemia Flea Market in Dublin.

Why buy new for one day when the best finds already exist?

Green doesn't have to mean plastic shamrocks.

Do you thrift for occasions?

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

Does originality still exist in fashion?

In a world of micro-trends and fast fashion dupes, it's a harder question than it sounds.

What do you think?

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

BTS of Thrift & Talk with Tolu Asemota.

No set. No script. Just an honest conversation in Dublin about fashion and what it means to build something real.

What would you ask at one of these?

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

I didn't always thrift. There was a moment it clicked, and once it did I couldn't go back.

Here's how I started and why it was easier than I expected.

What's stopped you from starting?

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

Stitching a logo by hand takes longer than most people spend choosing what to wear.

That's the point.

Thrifted knit. BR™ mark. Hand-stitched in Dublin. Zero waste.

Would you wear it?

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

We asked D'Angelo how he justifies buying something new.

His answer hit differently than expected.

Do you justify purchases before you make them or buy first, think later?

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

A full year of Thrift & Talk.

Real guests. Real conversations. No scripts.

This is the community Branded Royal™ is building, not followers, people.

Season 2 is coming. Who do you want on it?

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

I didn't start Branded Royal™ to sell bags.

I started it because something handmade and upcycled deserved to exist in a world drowning in fast fashion.

Every stitch by hand. Dublin.

What made you click on this?

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

81K people saw this bag. Most kept scrolling.

Handmade in Dublin. Upcycled from waste. Limited by design.

The ones who stop are the ones it's made for.

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

A machine didn't make this. A person did. In Dublin. By hand.

You can tell the difference if you look closely enough.

[Branded Royal™ @BrandedRoyal]

Most people see the finished content. Nobody shows the work that made it.
