Upcycling: when our creators give objects a second life

By Laetitia & Jing, on 03/03/2025

What is Upcycling?

Upcycling is the art of transforming existing materials into something better. Instead of throwing them away, we recover, rethink, and enhance objects or materials to give them a new life, often with added value. Unlike recycling, which involves a process of breaking down materials, upcycling preserves their essence and reinvents them with creativity.


A New Life for the Treasures of Yesterday

Give new life to the treasures of the past with Repin's, an upcycled brooch that blends history and modernity. Each piece, crafted from carefully selected vintage jewelry and buttons, invites you to wear fashion in a more responsible way while adding a unique touch to your style.

With Repin's, every creation is more than just a piece of jewelry. It’s a tribute to local craftsmanship, an ethical and sustainable approach that breathes new life into forgotten objects. These brooches combine elegance and history, creating accessories that tell a unique story with every wearer.

Available on Wimzzi, Repin's reinvents jewelry with passion and creativity. By choosing one of its pieces, you support a responsible, local, and meaningful approach.

Upcycling in the service of light

lluminate your interior with a Babelute lamp, a creation where design and eco-responsibility meet. Handmade from bicycle parts and recycled wood, each lamp is a unique piece, carefully crafted to offer original and sustainable lighting.

Babelute is the story of a photographer who turned a moment of crisis into a creative adventure. During the Covid period, he discovered a passion for making lamps from recycled materials. Each lamp embodies this creative reinvention, giving a second life to objects while offering eco-responsible lighting.

Available on Wimzzi, this artisanal brand allows you to add a touch of character and durability to your home, while supporting a local and responsible approach. Choosing a Babelute lamp means combining style, meaning, and environmental respect.
