Collaboration with various local entities supporting environmental protection

This October, AIGLE new concept store opens in K11 MUSEA in Tsim Sha Tsui. With the theme “ESCAPE”, AIGLE collaborated with a number of local entities that share the same value on sustainability to curate a green and fashionable space with both urban and nature elements, bringing you out from the hustle and bustle of the city life to a whole new green shopping experience surround by nature. 

AIGLE has always encouraged cooperation with local entities to reduce carbon emissions caused by transportation, which is in line with its sustainable commitment. The new K11 MUSEA store is no exception, we are joining hands with three local brands that also support environmental protection, to add in green elements to the store, giving customers a different shopping experience.

Adhering the brand’s commitment on sustainability , AIGLE also collaborates with local wood recycling company  HK Timberbank, to design a number of key eco-friendly displays in the store using locally sourced timber. The supporting log beneath the stone-shape display at the entrance is made from unwanted wood from Wan Chai pier, while the shoe displays area are from recycled trees from various parts of Hong Kong, across the Island, Kowloon and New Territories. They were all carefully processed by Hong Kong Timberbank, from collection, drying, cutting and polishing to coloring, the store display installations demonstrate design flares combined with environmental conservation. Some of the recycled wood in the store are painted in natural mineral coating (@Graphenstone), which can absorb carbon dioxide. The thoughtfulness in each and every process shows the dedication to environmental protection.

AIGLE collaborates, once again, with local sustainable design expert OOObject . They recycled fabrics and transformed them into the “ECOs Brick” wall at our store, resembles a forest with its textural vertical lines. It is a great demonstration on how to make the best use of waste materials, and how to implement eco retail design in stores through science and research. Through the series of collaborations, AIGLE aims to reduce environmental damage by selecting eco-friendly materials, and implementing the brand concept of sustainable fashion from the operational aspect.
