Repurpose with a purpose

AZ Factory joins forces with Bas Timmer to create a capsule collection to support people living unsheltered.

The 5th ‘Amigo’ for 2022 sees a surprising collaboration of AZ Factory in support of Sheltersuit Foundation to help unsheltered people around the world.

Hand in hand with AZ Factory’s design studio, Sheltersuit’s founder Bas Timmer imagined a collection of bags crafted from repurposed overstock leather and silk from AZ Factory stocks, ranging from the emblematic backpack to different smaller utility bags that feature a relaxed and playful allure.Each bag sold will finance the creation of a Shelterbag which will be donated by local Non-profits:  what a better way to reaffirm AZ Factory motto “love brings love”?

The collection will be distributed exclusively with Net-a-Porter starting from 21 December 2022.
