Remade in Switzerland - Christopher Raeburn for Victorinox

By Glen Taylor - February 11, 2011

in Fashion Design

Debuting at New York Fashion Week, Victorinox launched their capsule collection Remade in Switzerland by UK fashion designer Christopher Ræburn. The small collection of just 8 pieces are constructed from re-appropriated Swiss military fabrics such as sleeping bags, parachutes, blankets, and wool coats—some as old as 60 years. Each item is a limited-edition of 100 pieces including Ræburn's badass take on the classic Swiss army knife (pictured below). Kudos to the creative team behind the website and presentation, it's beautifully executed!

Captain's Coat Constructed from re-appropriated Swiss wool coats dating back up to 60 years and lined with over-dyed surplus Swiss military cotton bed sheets.

Horseshoe Nail Knife Crafted from surplus military horseshoe nails melted down and recast as knife scales, packaged in reclaimed original coated paper box that held the nails.

Cocoon Blouson Constructed from surplus Swiss military sleeping bags, reinforced with waterproof sleeping bag outer.

Parachute Hoodie Constructed from 2 colours of surplus Swiss military air-brake parachutes.

Woman's Sentry's Scarf constructed from surplus Swiss military blankets and over-dyed surplus Swiss military cotton bed sheets.
