Why are the surface pattern and stitching slightly different on each keyring?
When reading the notices or receiving the product, there are moments when you wonder if it is defective because the shape is not uniform.
Because they are manufactured based on recycled fabric made by recollecting discarded cloth, the pattern and stitched shape differ for each individual item.
The moment you look at the keyring held in your hand before hanging it on a bag or pouch — the appearance created by interlocking different pieces catches your eye.
THREE TO EIGHTY's UGLY RECYCLE SET KEYRING MULTI uses recycled fabric made by recollecting discarded cloth[1]. In general, recycled fabric is not woven from newly spun uniform yarn, but is processed by collecting leftover fabric scraps, so it is difficult for the underlying grain or the arrangement of printed patterns to come out uniformly.
Added to this, as the process of joining and weaving different pieces together is carried out, the placement of the pattern revealed on the surface and the shape of the stitching lines also finish differently for each product. This is a unique difference stemming from the characteristics of the material and does not constitute a defect in the product[2].
hmmm, instead of a standardized product stamped out in a smoothly identical shape, it ends up with the appearance of pieces that are each slightly different.
We have not yet confirmed specifically what types of textile waste are collected and used when making the recycled fabric.
