Rug Fabric Reversible Gown

Some clothes become considerably more useful once you stop trying to decide where you’re supposed to wear them.

PUEBCO’s Rug Fabric Reversible Gown lives somewhere between a robe, coat, and particularly ambitious piece of loungewear. One side is made from richly textured recycled rug yarn, complete with fringe at the hem; turn it inside out and striped cotton gives you an entirely different, quieter version. A removable belt lets you cinch it closed or leave the whole thing loose and oversized. Wear it around the house, over a swimsuit, with jeans and a T-shirt, or out to dinner if everyone involved is prepared to accept that you may technically be wearing a rug. Because recycled yarn is used, colors, patterns, weaving irregularities, and the exact placement of the design will vary from piece to piece. It’s two garments in one, although neither one seems particularly interested in behaving like a normal garment.

About the Brand:  PUEBCO

PUEBCO has a habit of looking at things the rest of us have finished with and deciding they aren't finished yet. Founded in Japan in 2007, PUEBCO works with salvaged, recycled, and repurposed materials, including military tents, old uniforms, mail bags, truck upholstery, parachutes, and industrial fabrics, turning them into bags, clothing, rugs, storage, and objects for the home. Pieces are produced in small batches, and the quirks of the original materials are often left visible rather than engineered away.  The result isn't sustainability disguised as pristine newness. Things look reused, reconsidered, occasionally imperfect, and considerably more interesting because of it.
