SUSTAINBILITY

Sustainability at Rigash

Rigash has been recognized as one of Egypt’s leading local brands in sustainability. From the materials we use to how we produce, package, and ship our collections, every step is made with intention and care for the environment.

Responsible Materials

All of our summer collections are produced with 0% polyester, ensuring that every piece can return to the earth. We prioritize using natural, biodegradable fabrics including:
• Egyptian cotton
• Raw linen
• Raffia
• Imported vegan leather made from mango peels

Limited Production

Rigash is strictly against mass production.
• We create a maximum of 10 pieces per design
• We offer pre-orders on selected styles to avoid overstock and reduce waste

Conscious Packaging

We are committed to eliminating plastic in every part of our process.
• Clothing tags and envelopes are made from recycled paper
• Biodegradable garments are shipped in reusable wooden boxes instead of single-use plastic
• At our studio, we recycle, reuse, or donate fabric scraps, paper, and plastic

Community Impact

We collaborate with local artisans and external craftsmen—supporting underprivileged communities and preserving traditional craftsmanship.

Environmental Partnerships

As part of our SS’23 collection, we’ve partnered with the NGO Shagarha. For every two pieces sold, one tree is planted. This collaboration supports reforestation efforts and reinforces our environmental commitment.

Collection Concepts

SS’23 – Decay

This collection explores the impact of plastic pollution on natural decomposition. Inspired by the decay process of fruit, we preserved three fruit slices in gold to represent how plastic interrupts this essential cycle. The designs highlight the importance of biodegradation and call for a more conscious future.

SS’21 – Negatives

The Negatives collection reflects the harmful impact of the fashion industry on the environment. Drawing from photographic film negatives, the collection features mirrored sets that symbolize a reversed reflection. The use of biodegradable fabrics and packaging reinforces our message through both design and execution.
