GO SUSTAINABLE, BE RESPONSIBLE !

Our leitmotiv : Reduce-Reuse-Upcycle and Sharing our resources and knowledges

    
   Every year, more than 11 million tons of textile is discarded into landfills  where it wreaks chaos on our environment. Ricochet is a local business devoted  to reducing this negative impact on the Earth by making unique garments from  rescued materials that are "upcycled" to create one-of-a- kind wearable art.  Along with its commitment to the planet, Ricochet is invested in our youth and  provides an open door for students and young professionals to develop their  skills for success in today's demanding and oftentimes disheartening fashion  industry. 

    Ricochet's Wearable Art Academy Internship Program fosters a  collaborative learning environment that helps students grow their ideas, while  expanding their skill set, and building their confidence. The Academy's  Internship program is a personalized learning experience that is open to  students of any background or skillset. Ricochet understands the cutthroat  reality of the fashion industry and aims to be a helping hand for students in  their transition to a successful career. 

        Your support is appreciated and will greatly help  our community. Contributions will provide much needed support to our youth and  students. It will also help Ricochet as a small business in its continuing  efforts to promote a socially responsible and green way of life.
