Upcycling old uniforms of SingPost frontliners into stylish, every-day pieces, Re:Post marries the best of trend, environmental sustainability, and community spirit in celebration of this year’s World Post Day (9 October).
On World Post Day 2020, we boldly introduced a fresh ensemble of SingPost uniforms as we steadily steer towards the Future of Post. The next question begets: What then do we do with the overwhelming heap of old attire?
Put the ‘treas-’ in ‘treasure’, of course.

Collecting close to 33,000 articles from the drive, we partnered with social enterprises namely Alfya Atelier, >Our Barehands and >Social Gifting to upcycle a bulk of them into 12 limited-edition items for the street fashionistas, home stylists or simply environmental advocates. Packed, washed, cut and sewn, Re:Post sees a line-up of water-resistant tote bags ingeniously made from old windbreakers and raincoats, handy coin pouches cut from durable cargo pants and quirky bottle carriers crafted from the pre-loved shirts of our postman!
