/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

Herman Miller puts emphasis on posture with the Sayl chair. The Sayl is a special edition gaming chair that is “inspired by the architecture and the less-is-more engineering of suspension bridges.”

This gaming chair utilizes an unframed 3D Intelligent back with elastomer strands that focus on tension support for areas needing it not so much in areas that don’t require the attention. Sayl also has Harmonic Tilt which is designed to help posture, supporting the body and spine with the included contour seat pad. The seat pad can also be adjusted to alleviate pressure from the legs.

Levi’s Launches Denim Buyback Service Called “SecondHand”

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

Levi’s has launched Levi’s SecondHand in the U.S. which is a new buyback program tailored to be more eco-friendly. This new program will allow customers to receive gift cards of equal value for trade-in used pieces. Clothes go into a cleaning process once they’re received and then can be repurposed for sale on the company’s website.

“Repurposing and repairing clothes require minimal additional energy input, no water, and no dyes to make more jeans. Buying a used pair of Levi’s jeans through SecondHand saves approximately 80 percent of the CO2 emissions and 700 grams of waste compared to buying a new pair of Levi’s jeans.”

Chief Marketing Officer of Levi’s Jennifer Sey

Levi’s brought E-commerce tech start-up TROVE in to handle the logistics of the operation as well as the backend. TROVE founder and CEO Andy Ruben expressed excitement for how implementing an infrastructure for second-hand clothing was “the single biggest move” that a supply chain could embody for better sustainability.

Visit Levi’s SecondHand at the company’s website. Prices range from $30 – $150 USD.
