Jan. 2021Gonars (Udine), ItalyDeveloping the brand identity, defining the business model, and the overall business development, and developing the marketing strategies for entry into the national and international market. The RE49 Italian Sustainable Shoes brand was born from the historic Masolini 1949 shoe factory in Gonars (Udine). Identity is linked to the quadrinomial: Craftsmanship and Handmade, Creativity and Made in Italy, Sustainability and Circular Economy, Digitization. By combining these large macro areas, the RE49 brand was born: a return to the past, but with the contemporaneity of sustainability and the application of the fashion-tech blockchain to guarantee the ETHICS of the company by tracing all the processes from the collection of unused materials or destined for waste, production and marketing processes. RE49 shoes are small works of art with a story to tell, All made with recycled or discarded materials, materials from over production or storage, they are born with the intent to drag a philosophy of Greenlifestyle, of real sustainability, of communion and cohesion with nature, avoiding the waste of additional natural resources. The RE49 shoes are made with disused sails, the spinnaker of racing boats, with the decommissioned sunbeds, deck chairs, or umbrellas of Italian beaches, with jeans of the big brands destined for destruction, with technological upholstery or fashion materials, with waste materials from sofa and upholstery production. Some RE49s are already iconic: shoes made with sun loungers from the beaches of the Veneto have been mentioned in various magazines and magazines. The shoes made with the fabric of the 60s with which the hammocks were made make you relive the dreams of that era. Each shoe, each version, tells a small or large Italian story.
