Fashion Reducing Waste
Pollution from waste is causing dire environmental impact.
Weather systems are changing to more frequent wetter or hotter days than usual.
The cycle fuels itself: To avoid drenching or skin cancers from more frequent rainy or shiny days, more and more umbrellas are used, more and more are lost or discarded, more and more waste is created, more and more the climate changes.

BrolleyMate is helping the environment by using fashion to reduce consumer waste. Our objective is to minimise the 1.1 billion umbrellas and 4.5 million tonnes of rainwear that are lost or discarded every year worldwide.
We will achieve this with our patent protected svelte, modish, stretch-to-fit cases that hold any size umbrella according to its type, followed later by our patent filed chic shoulder bags incorporating our brolley case concept, designer drag-free invert-free umbrellas, and creative modular rainwear that can be put together by consumers without tailoring.
The principle is to minimise loss, damage, and/or replacement thereby reducing consumer waste by fashionably carrying an umbrella, using robust affordable brollies that break less, and modularity that create trends and prevent waste of whole garments.
