Rifò is an emerging brand of clothes and accessories. They produce high-quality products, made with recycled textile fibers and made in Italy (In Prato). Thanks to a mechanical and craftsmanship process developed in the textile district of Prato (our city) more than 100 years ago, they are able to turn fabric leftovers and old clothes into new garments with identical qualities to the original products. This method allows us to recycle textile waste and sensibly reduce the amount of water, dyes and chemical products used in the production. Nowadays it is so easy to get dressed, there are so many beautiful clothes available at a low price. But we can do better – they can dress in high-quality and fashionable clothes while taking care of our planet!​ Their mission is to create a fashionable and high-quality garment line made entirely in Prato with 100% recycled fibers.
